饰有神话巨蛇纹样的束腰外衣

800–850 CE
Not on view
古代秘鲁男性的主要装束就是束腰外衣，即一件未经裁剪的上衣，袖子可有可无，双肩处有垂直的袖孔，顶部脖颈处也有一道开口。这些束腰外衣展示出丰富多样的编织技术和纹样，以及炫目的色彩搭配。除了实际功用以外，这些衣服也表现出各人的民族属性、社会地位和宗教信仰。制作这件束腰外衣使用了一种挂毯编织法，就是纬线（水平的纱线）被紧紧下压，完全遮住经线（垂直的纱线）。大胆的图案描绘出两只神话中的巨蛇，它们曲折的身躯布满斑点，在衣服的接缝处彼此对看。两条蛇的头部硕大，眼睛呈双色，龇牙咧嘴，有腮须或触须，还有耳朵或鳍。目前的观点认为这件束腰外衣属于混合式风格，其中纳斯卡特征包括它的形状和编织工艺，但两只怪兽眼睛和牙齿的表现手法则是典型的瓦里风格。
