Nazca Culture 100 BC-800 AD
14'3" x 23'4" in.
A beautiful example of the feather Pechera preserved in an almost impeccable condition. Of universal appeal and unique beauty, feathers have for thousands of years been used by people in all parts of the Andes to adorn themselves and to animate their environment. Among traditional societies, feathers and objects embellished with feathers also have great cultural value and are imbued with spiritual energy and supernatural force.
Similar examples could be found in the Anni and Josef Albers’s collection, as both have been avid collectors of Pre-Columbian arts throughout their life.
