This monumental mid-20th century Peruvian textile features a powerful figural composition depicting two mirrored Inca figures rendered in a bold, geometric style rooted in Andean visual tradition. Woven at an exceptional scale, the piece was likely intended as a ceremonial or display textile rather than for everyday use.
The paired figures facing one another, possibly represent complementary male and female Inca forms and reflect the Andean concept of duality and balance. Stepped geometric motifs frame the scene, further echoing pre-Columbian design language.
The earthy palette of browns, creams, grays, dusty pinks, and muted purples lends warmth and visual depth, while subtle dye migrations and irregularities speak to the textile’s handmade nature and age. Rich in cultural presence and graphic impact, this piece functions beautifully as wall art and offers a striking blend of folk art, history, and design.

Wear is present along the outer borders, including areas of edge thinning and small losses. A few small repairs and minor holes are visible. There is some localized color bleeding where dyes have migrated into adjacent areas, typical of older hand-dyed textiles. Structurally sound overall and well suited for display as a wall hanging. less
