Nasca-Huari Feathered Panel

Title (Dublin Core): Nasca-Huari Feathered Panel
Description (Dublin Core): Feather cotton fabric, with rectangular panels, four blue and yellow areas. The design and colors evoke the Andean concept of complementary duality. The golden yellow represents the sun, while the turquoise blue represents the ocean. The cords at the edges suggest that this standard was used to decorate the walls of temples or ceremonial spaces. This banner with blue and yellow macaw feathers was part of an offering made up of several similar banners in Ocoña, Arequipa.
