Post-Columbian Pastiche Tapestry
Overview:
This extraordinary Post-Columbian Pastiche Tapestry is a mesmerising fusion of creativity and craftsmanship. Crafted by the skilled hands of an unknown artisan, this tapestry transcends the ordinary, showcasing breathtaking colours and intricate details.
Design and Features:
Chimera-like Creatures: The tapestry features four anthropomorphic creatures, each seamlessly melding elements from various animals to form fantastical beings. These creatures are meticulously woven into the fabric, exuding an otherworldly intelligence and inviting viewers to delve deeper into their mysterious world.
Vibrant Colours: The colours burst forth in a riot of vibrancy, drawing the eye and igniting the imagination.
Tropical Birds: A troupe of five tropical birds dances among the creatures, complementing the tapestry's palette perfectly. Their delicate forms add a sense of movement and life to the scene, as if frozen in a moment of joyful celebration.
Historical Context:
Set against the backdrop of an old textile, this tapestry exudes an aura of timelessness, hinting at a history that stretches back through the ages. Its weathered appearance only adds to its charm, speaking of journeys taken and stories untold.
Cultural Significance:
After the decline of the Inca Empire due to the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, Peruvian textile production underwent significant changes. The Spanish colonisation introduced new materials, techniques, and designs, resulting in a fusion of indigenous and European influences. This led to the emergence of pastiche textile artwork, combining elements from different styles, periods, and cultures.
Technique and Craftsmanship:
Materials and Methods: During the colonial period, new materials such as sheep's wool and silk, alongside European textile production methods, were integrated with indigenous weaving practices. This blend of traditions is evident in the intricate patterns, zoomorphic figures, and symbols in this tapestry.
Overlay Embroidery: The tapestry features overlay embroidery, a time-consuming and skill-intensive process. This technique involves stitching additional decorative threads onto an already woven textile, enhancing its aesthetic appeal with vibrant colors and intricate geometric shapes.
Provenance:
Family Heirloom: Private collection ex. Dr. Rivadeneyra collection, Berlin, late 1960s to early 1970s. The collection was passed down to the present owner by descent.
Collection History: The tapestry was collected through the years by Dr. Jose Rivadeneyra Leon and his father Engr. Julio Rivadeneyra, who lived near Chiclayo on Peru's northern central coast. It was privately purchased and/or gifted by family members, including Carlos Williams Leon, a renowned Peruvian architect and archaeologist.

This unique tapestry is not just an artwork; it is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of indigenous cultures in the face of colonial influence. Its blend of artistic expressions reflects the complex history and diverse influences that have shaped Peru's textile traditions over the centuries.
