Tapestry Square Panel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Tapestry Square Panel by Andean artist depicts a central bird-like figure that faces forward. The figure has a red head with a curled beak-like protrusion at the top, a cream-colored chest with a brown swirl design and red outlines; a red and blue body outlined in black; and a stepped base in shades of orange. The figure's wings are patterned with blue dots on a black background, outlined in red. The panel's background is cream-colored, surrounded by a border composed of a red base with blue and gold swirling patterns. The panel has a frayed edge.
