English: Wool and cotton cap, square-knotted network with wool pile. 8.3x50.9 cm.
Close-fitting, four-cornered caps such as this one were worn by Huari and Tihuanaco elite males in life and were interred with the dead. Upon a netted cotton base, the llama or alpaca wool pile in more than eight colors is woven into repeating designs of long-necked birds and geometric shapes.
