After visiting the Amaco museum of pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles in January (See my blog Textile Treasure of Ancient Peru, 2/19/17) I was inspired to do more research on the cultures of ancient Peru. Here are only a few of references I am using.
DK Publishing INC, NY
Paul Hughes, FINE TEXTILE ART, London, 1995
Andreas Lommel, Hamilton publishing Group LTD, 1966
Samuel K. Lothrop, Rizoli INC., 1964
Lucy Davies & Mo Fini, Chronicle Books, San Francisco, 1994
There is also much information available on the internet. The images of textiles created thousands of years ago by these peoples is truly inspiring.
A few ancient textile tidbits, for now
