The Paracas culture (800 BC–200 AD) on Peru’s southern coast is known for intricate textiles and funerary practices. These textiles, used in burials, feature vibrant colors and complex iconography, reflecting spiritual beliefs and social hierarchy. The Paracas also practiced cranial deformation to signify status and identity.
