Hanging

Chimú

Not on view

This large Chimú hanging may have once graced an interior space at Chan Chan. The geometric pattern on the textile is composed of stylized pelicans, favored motifs at this seaside city. Similar designs were also depicted in the adobe reliefs that adorned the interiors of Chan Chan palaces.
