Pre-columbian thinly woven Chancay artwork textile tapestry. Tapestry is held together on a canvas sheet that can be removed from the artwork. Gauze panel with humanoids, and canines in beige, burgundy and brown on gray gauze. 113x108 cm
Many of the pieces had been collected through the years by grandfather and by my great grandfather Engr. Julio Rivadeneyra who lived in northern Peru central coast near Chiclayo. They have been privately purchased and/or gifted by family members who loved collecting like his cousin, Carlos Williams Leon who was a Peruvian architect and archeologist. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Williams_Le%C3%B3n
