Peruvian Gauze Textile

285
This Peruvian gauze fabric (100–800 AD) is formed by twisting warp threads to create open, net-like patterns. The technique allowed lightness while maintaining strength and was often combined with embroidery or dyeing. Such textiles reveal the technical precision and visual refinement central to Andean weaving traditions.
