The red band across the face and the headdress of horizontal lines create two areas of attention. The frontal expression can organize a wall or a composition of masks.
Historical and archaeological context
The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves a Chancay cotton headcloth dated to the twelfth–fifteenth centuries. Its open gauze and interlocking figures offer a reference for exploring this textile tradition (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, s. f.)
The offered work is a contemporary handmade creation. The cultural reference does not identify it with the museum object or make every detail a reproduction of a specific archaeological find.
