A magnificent Wari piece crafted between 500 and 900 AD from the South Coast of Peru, a treasure for humanity.

Gorra con trenzas de cabello humano

Este tocado, de apariencia similar a una peluca, está compuesto por una gorra confeccionada con hilo de fibra de camélido de color marrón natural, tejida en bucle. Del borde inferior descienden largas trenzas de cabello humano elaboradas mediante entrelazado oblicuo.

Los 25 cm inferiores de cada trenza se encuentran envueltos con hilos de camélido teñidos, formando un patrón geométrico de triángulos escalonados, característico del repertorio visual del Horizonte Medio. En los extremos de las trenzas se conservan bucles sin cortar de hilo rojo de fibra de camélido, que generan un fleco continuo a lo largo del borde inferior del tocado.

En los puntos donde se unen la primera y la última trenza al borde de la gorra se observan restos de las antiguas tiras de sujeción para la barbilla. Algunos elementos —como el hilo amarillo que envuelve las trenzas de manera secuencial, la banda roja de 3,8 cm ubicada en la parte superior del área decorada y pequeñas secciones del envoltorio— parecen corresponder a reparaciones o añadidos posteriores.

Interpretación
La pieza evidencia el alto valor simbólico del cabello humano en la sociedad Wari, así como el notable desarrollo técnico de la tradición textil andina durante el Horizonte Medio. Su complejidad formal y material sugiere un uso ceremonial o vinculado a individuos de alto estatus social.

I wish that it makes you noise when the price is so low that it could not dignify the work of a craftsman, and you choose to buy something that tells you a story, so that you take care of it, keep it, be your companion and pass it on to a new generation.

On Saturday, August 24, a very loving father came to buy this beautiful limited collection unicorn llama. He paid by card but I couldn't see the transaction since he had to enter his password. There was confusion because I had one of my daughters asking for my help. This father told me that my machine had approved the transaction and that this machine did not have paper to print, but he didn't need the receipt anyway and he left. So I replaced the paper and saw that the payment transaction had not gone through. I only ask this father to come back and pay for the stuffed animal.
