Abstract

The pre-colonial Andean peoples were mainly weavers. This has been pointed out by scholars such as L. Lumbreras (1988), J. Murra (2002) and F. Stastny (1981), who have also explained the importance of the textile practice and the roles assigned to the textile object in ancient Peru, the which, in addition to being used as clothing, became a sign and symbol of identity and social status, an offering in festive and funeral rituals and in sacrifices to the deities, and a valuable tribute to the Inca State. With the Hispanic occupation and the consequent cultural confrontation, transcendental changes would occur, however, some elements of the ancestral Andean fabric would survive.
