1 gen 1450 anni - All-T'oqapu Tunic

Descrizione:

The Inka were masters of statecraft, forging an empire that at its height extended from modern Quito, Ecuador to Santiago, Chile

These were given to local leaders as part of a system of imposed obligations that gave the Inka the right to claim portions of local produce and labor as their due. Along with jewels, political feasts and gifts of finely-made textiles would also cement these unequal relationships.

Textiles and their creation had been highly important in the Andes long before the Inka came to power in the mid-15th century
