Huge, important catalog of the Yoshitaro Amano collection of 236 Pre-columbian Peruvian textiles c.800-1500 including woven, embroidered and printed textiles, lacework, garments and dolls. All are described and shown in color. With an extensive bibliography. Originally published in 1977 under the title "Textiles of the pre-Incaic Period: Catalog of the Amano Collection", this sumptuous volume was reissued in a limited printing in 1979, and has been out of print since 1983. It is one of the scarcest and most prized publications on Peruvian pre-columbian textiles. The color plates, documenting one of the great collections of pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles, are considered to be among the finest ever published. 

Museo Amano is a private textile museum with over 5,400 pieces of textile which were salvaged and collected by its founder, Mr. Yoshitaro Amano, born in Akito, Japan. Mr. Amano travelled around archaeological sites of Peru, a country he loved, and came across the pieces of textiles left behind by looters of tombs and pre-colombian archaeological sites (looters used to take statues and ceramics) and started rescuing them. The collection is one of the best in Peru. A lot of classification and professional restoration work has been done.
