English: This extraordinarily complex mantle, or cloak, is one of the most renowned Andean textiles in the world. It was most likely used as a ceremonial object. The ninety figures decorating the border, created by needle knitting, have been interpreted as a microcosm of life on Peru’s South Coast two thousand years ago, with a particular focus on agriculture. Many of the images illustrate native flora and fauna as well as cultivated plants. Costumed figures may represent humans impersonating gods and acting as intermediaries between the real and supernatural worlds. Severed human trophy heads are shown as germinating seeds, suggesting the practice of ritual sacrifice and the interconnected cycles of birth and death.
Español: Este extraordinariamente complejo manto, o capa, es uno de los textiles andinos más conocidos en el mundo. Fue usado probablemente como objeto ceremonial. Las noventa figuras que decoran el borde, tejidas con aguja, han sido interpretadas como el microcosmos de la vida en la Costa Sur del Perú de hace dos mil años, con foco particular en la agricultura. Muchas de las imágenes ilustran flora y fauna nativa, así como plantas cultivadas. Figuras disfrazadas pueden representar humanos imitando a dioses y actuando como intermediarios entre los mundos real y sobrenatural. Cabezas trofeo se muestran como semillas germinando, sugiriendo la práctica de sacrificio ritual y los ciclos interconectados de nacimiento y muerte.
