Tunic with Frontal Figures

This tunic was made by weavers of the Ychsma (yeach-mah) people, who were affiliated with Pachacamac, a vast religious center that housed an oracle. The figures repeated across its composition may represent important ancestors or high-ranking members of society. The tunic likely dates to the period after the Inka Empire conquered Ychsma coastal territory, eventually becoming the largest Indigenous empire to have existed in the ancient Americas.
