"Radiance from the Rain Forest: Featherwork in Ancient Peru" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Media: Crafts
In the Andean regions of ancient South America, the brilliantly colored feathers of Amazonian birds were a luxury that was much treasured and long used. From the third millennium B.C. onward, feathers served various ceremonial and secular purposes throughout pre-conquest Peruvian history. Radiant blues, yellows, reds, and greens embellished high-status apparel and accessories such as ear ornaments, pectorals, fans, headdresses, miniature ritual offerings, and large-scale hangings. Examples of them, drawn from public and private collections and the Museum’s own holdings, are on view.
