Of universal appeal and great
beauty, Peruvian featherworking was part of a highly sophisticated
textile tradition spanning several thousand years. Although these rare
treasures, which include vibrantly colored and detailed garments,
headdresses, personal ornaments, and ritual objects, have been admired
and collected by connoisseurs for decades, this unusual and exquisite
art form has not been much investigated or published.
Peruvian Featherworks, a magnificently illustrated publication, is the first in-depth and authoritative review of featherworking traditions in Ancient Peru. Written by seven international experts in the textile arts and archaeology, the texts include a discussion of important recent discoveries, considerations of iconography, and basic technical characteristics of featherworks. Nearly seventy outstanding pieces are discussed, as well as evidence of feather mosaic on textiles and other media in most major Andean cultures, from the Paracas (about 600–100 B.C.) through the Inca (1470–1534).
