Document source description
This extraordinary border once edged a tunic or perhaps part of a decorative hanging or blanket. This type of needle-knitted, three-dimensional figures executed as a border and embroidered with “stem-stitch” embroidery to create lively faces is a hallmark of early or proto-Nazca textiles. The reliance on the three primary colors, as well as black and white, with yellow and blue alternating in combination with a base color of red, shows an interest in complementarity that is reinforced by the incorporation of narrow bands and small flecks within the vertical elements above the faces.
