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

Hello Meggie,
Thank you very much for choosing Mearto with your online appraisal and for your patience. I apologize for the inconvenient long-waiting, but it is all solved now.
Based on the images, this item is:
A beautiful woven head-cloth made with panels of gauze weave joined with figures (6,5x5").
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chancay culture, ca. 800 to 1200 CE
The added embroidered outlines follow around the figures; cotton warp and weft threads, highly over-twisted.
Very good condition.
