Researching the Textiles of Ancient Peru

Referencing Pre-Columbian Peruvian Textiles

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
