Knotted Pile Chuspa Coca Bag, Bolivia, 18th C. Size: 0'11.5'' x 0'8'' (29 x 20 cm). Knotted bags are an anomaly in Boliva even though they were woven by indigenous people working in the Jesuit obrajes, workshops. More common are the knotted rugs woven for wealthy Spanish colonial aristocrats. This knotted bag features a traditional indigenous stylized "heaven and earth" design that is particular to the Aymara.

Lot: 507 - Aymara Ccahua Ponchito, Jesus de Machaca, Dept. of La Paz, 18th C.

Aymara Ccahua Ponchito, Jesus de Machaca, Dept. of La Paz, 18th C. Size: 2'8'' x 4'0'' (81 x 122 cm). The Machacas, just south of Lake Titicaca, once formed part of the Pacasa Aymara nation. They still herd the same high quality alpaca, so coveted by the Inca. This one-piece ponchito features a bichrome chimi ground, of pink and dark burgundy yarns. The weave is so tight that it could probably hold water. The fineness of the spin and the regularity of the weave probably means that the chimi speckled ground was achieved through the warping process rather than twisted yarns. The neck opening is achieved by discontinuous wefts that turn back on themselves. The wide center ground is bordered by two wide red bands dissected by four narrow reverse spun lloq'e stripes which protect the wearer from evil spirits. In this case, the ponchito was probably worn by an indigenous lay person belonging to a Catholic cofradia, a secular cult that venerated a Saint and financially sponsored its procession during the Corpus (Christi). These weavings are related in style to the ccahua ponchitos of Calamarka, found just south of the Machacas. This piece is finished by a teal-colored woven tubular edge. Consigned by a major figure who has held these in collection since acquiring them in the field circa 1979.

Lot: 508 - Aymara Men's Llacota, Soutern Altiplano, South Lake Poopo, Dept. of Potosi, 16th C.

Aymara Men's Llacota, Soutern Altiplano, South Lake Poopo, Dept. of Potosi, 16th C. Size: 3'8'' x 3'10'' (112 x 117 cm). This style of llacota is a one-piece cloth, a wide chocolate brown ground, pampa, with deep pink lateral bands divided by yellow stripes. There is a hidden red weft, which is an esoteric shamanistic characteristic. At the weft selvedge there are eight stripes of reverse spun lloq'e yarns protecting the wearer of malevolent spirits. The edge is finished with diagonally hand sewn crewel stitch yarns in purple, white, red, yellow, and green colors. See Adelson, Tracht, Aymara Weavings: Ceremonial Textiles of Colonial and 19th Century Bolivia. Figure 22, p. 85 for a similar style llacota. Consigned by a major figure who has held these in collection since acquiring them in the field circa 1979.

Lot: 509 - Aymara Woman's Ahuayo, La Paz, Dept. of La Paz, 16th C.

Aymara Woman's Ahuayo, La Paz, Dept. of La Paz, 16th C. Size: 3'9'' x 3'8'' (114 x 112 cm). Alpaca warp with metallic silver thread in the complementary warp weave areas, alpaca weft. Natural dyes. This extremely fine and exquisitely dyed heirloom textile came out of a private collection of an indigenous family in the city of La Paz. It was possibly made in Jesus de Machaca which was then part of the Pacasa Aymara tribe. The Pacasa were renowned for their herds of alpaca which were coveted by the Inca. The making of this silver treasure has a history beyond the Machacas. Between 1500 and 1650 it is estimated that between 16,500 and 25,000 tons of silver, were shipped to Spain from South American mines, the majority of it coming from Cerro Rico (Rich Mountain) in the boom town of Potosi. The silver of Cerro Rico not only transformed Europe, but it conquered the world. The entire focus of Spanish colonial occupation transferred from Lima and Cuzco in Peru to Sucre and Potosi in Bolivia. By the end of the 16th Century the city that grew up around the base of Cerro Rico-Potosi was larger and wealthier than both London and Madrid. In Bolivia, even native families became wealthy. Native Aymara women wore silver threaded mantles as a sign of status. The eight lloq'e reverse spun stripes at each weft selvedge protected the wearer from malevolent spirits. The supplementary warp structures featured in the patterned bands of the mantle, especially the small vertical square motif, are found in pre-Columbian Cabuzas textiles found in Arica Chile, and Post Conquest Aymara textiles. Also, the purple center field, pampa, the adjacent red stripes, and especially the center light olive green band are all reminiscent of an ancient dyeing tradition.

Lot: 510 - Aymara Challapata Style Poncho, Achiri, Pacajes Region, Dept. of La Paz, Early 19th C.

Aymara Challapata Style Poncho, Achiri, Pacajes Region, Dept. of La Paz, Early 19th C. Size: 5'0'' x 4'8'' (152 x 142 cm). Alpaca warp and weft with natural dyes. Classic Challapata (Aymara: Place of Offering or Ritual) poncho. The Inca called the southern quadrant of their empire Tawantinsuyu, the Collasuyu, or the Aymara region. They coveted the alpaca herds of the Pacasa Aymara. The Pacasa used the leaves of the shinus molle, Peruvian Pepper tree, to achieve the jet-black dye, used in their textiles that were renowned throughout the South/Central Andes. This piece features six wide bands of colored stripes on a Pacasa black ground. Because of the high content of lanolin in the alpaca there is a sheen across the entire surface of the textile. Five lloq'e reverse spun stripes protecting the wearer are featured at the weft selvedge. Completing the piece is a narrow two- color complementary warp band of scroll and bird figures, and a band of muti-colored fringe. The exquisite multi -colored stripes reflect the dyeing prowess of the Aymara women. Consigned by a major figure who has held these in collection since acquiring them in the field circa 1979.

This incuna is made with finely spun alpaca yarns and expertly woven in two-color chains with alternate and offset warp stripes. The dark gold and bronze-colored yarns are indicative of older fabrication. Size: 2'10'' x 2'6'' (86 x 76 cm).

Textiles of this region were heavily influenced by the Inca mitmac, colonists, who were brought to Bolivia in the 15th century. The enormous size of the garment would have covered almost the entire body. The tunic is one piece, the neck slit woven in by discontinuous wefts and reinforced with hand sewn crewel stitches. The side seams are figure-eight stitch. The yarn is exquisitely hand-spun, dyed, and evenly woven. The alpaca yarn has a lustrous sheen. The jet-black center ground, pampa, is achieved using the leaves of the Algaroba tree, while the deep red side pampas are achieved using cochineal, (a dried beetle that thrives on the opuntia cactus). Dyed over brown yarn. Consigned by a major figure who has held these in collection since acquiring them in the field circa 1979.

Lot: 519 - Aymara Incuna Ceremonial Cloth, Dept. of Puno, 19th C.

Aymara Incuna Ceremonial Cloth, Dept. of Puno, 19th Century. Wool. Size: 2'11" x 3'0" (89 x 91 cm) This unusual incuna—a ceremonial cloth from the Peruvian Aymara, once part of the Colla Confederation—is notable for its unique construction. Rather than the typical mirrored joining of two loom panels, the central design was woven entirely on one panel, with a second, smaller textile added to complete the composition. Set against a deep cochineal red ground, the cloth features numerous conceptual motifs accompanied by patterned striping. A separately woven ribete (edging), later attached, reflects a long-standing tradition in Peruvian textile finishing. The piece has undergone professional cleaning to mitigate staining and includes high-quality reweaving in areas of prior damage, preserving the integrity of this visually and historically rich textile.

Lot: 520 - Aymara Poncho, Dept. of Cochabamba, 17th/18th C.

Aymara Poncho, Dept. of Cochabamba, 17th/18th C. Wool. An early, rare and lovely poncho made by a master weaver who composed a complex work of symmetrical elements inside of other symmetries using more than 10 natural dye baths to orchestrate a resounding work of textile art. Modeled on the Jesuit ponchos of the mission priesthood, and reflecting the ancient striped tunics of the pre-Hispanic period, this two panel creation with different sized halves, was hand spun and woven on an indigenous loom while the more common Jesuit ponchos were made as identical woven strips on European treadle looms and then assembled into ponchos. The termination areas are small and well concealed while the center area is a serial repeat of solar symbols referencing Inti, god of the Incas. The separately woven fringe is well worn as to be expected of a garment centuries old but overall the textile, while lightly soiled, is without serious stain, discoloration or damage. There are no rewoven areas. A real masterpiece among ponchos. Size: 4'9'' x 4'10'' (145 x 147 cm).

Lot: 521 - Quechua Woman's Nanaka Shawl, Toropalca, Dept. of Potosi, c. 1950-1980

Lot: 560 - Chavin Culture Painted Cotton Textile, Karwar, South Coast, c. 1200 BCE

Chavin Culture Painted Cotton Textile, Karwar, South Coast, c. 1200 BCE. Size: 25.5'' x 25.5'', 65 x 65 cm (textile); 30'' x 30'', 76 x 76 cm (mount). Cotton and pigment. Cloth making began in the Andes as early as the third millennium BC and remained a medium of artistic expression and carrier of important social, political, and religious information, preceding ceramics. In the case of this textile, it has been painted, providing a portable or wearable surface for the depiction of complex imagery. Textiles are thought to have facilitated the spread of Chavin imagery from the north, where it originated, to the southern Peruvian coast, where this fragment is said to have been found. The motifs and painting style closely resemble the stone carvings at the site of Chavin de Huantar. The figures clawed hands and feet, serpent hair and belt relate it to the staff god, one of the main deities worshipped at Chavin de Huantar.

Lot: 829 - Highly Uncommon Savu Ikat Sarong, Indonesia

Highly Uncommon Savu Ikat Sarong, Indonesia. 2'8'' x 4'8'' (81 x 142 cm) Cotton, warp ikat. Irregular drop-spindle handspun threads and the use of early natural dyes suggest an early date for the cloth, likely late 19th / early 20th century. Its unusually large size (142 x 162 cm when opened) may indicate the cloth was not made for wear, but for ceremonial exchange or ritual. Savunese cloths, from the colonial period onwards, developed into using very ornate and florid motifs in their main design bands. Here, the use of profuse, yet comparatively archaic motifs may reference a historically earlier Savunese design structure. A rare example for the researcher and collector.
