Headband. Nasca artist, 6th–7th century

This vibrantly colored headband with ornamental tassels, made by Nasca weavers on the south coast of Peru, illustrates both the impressive technical skill needed to produce a fabric of this length and complexity and the remarkable preservation of organic material in the Nasca desert, one of the driest places on earth. The brilliant blue color was obtained using indigo and the red from either cochineal or Galium sp (Devia Castillo, 2018). The geometric stepped design on the body of the headband is a common style reproduced on many Nasca garments from this period. The tassels at the two ends are made from the warps woven into six bundles using the same colors as on the main body of the fabric. The exclusive use of camelid fibers, obtained from llamas and alpacas native to the higher altitudes in the Andes, suggests an influence of the highland Wari culture, an empire that later dominated the coast.
