A fine Proto-Nazca Linked Muñeca Mantle Fringe, Ca. 100 - 600 CE Sculpture Condition: Very well preserved withThis striking Proto Nazca textile border features a continuous row of twelve linked mueca (doll like) figures, woven arm to arm in a single register. The figures are depicted in alternating colors of red, gold, green, orange, and blue. Each figure has a compact, woven head and torso, with long, flowing fiber bundles suspended below. These extended fibers likely represent stylized hair, and their preservation is notable, as such elements are often lost
