In a word - stunning! Paracas, south-coastal Peru, Ca 200 BC. Chest panel which would only have been worn by a very important member of the clan. Textile base of almost burlap type fabric to which has been applied hundreds of orange and blue-green feathers. Certainly part of an entire costume worn at battle or during ceremonies. 13"W x 8"H, mounted to linen and then onto frame, so ready to hang. Professionally cleaned/conserved.
