{"product_id":"mantle-textile-fragment-fine-art-print","title":"Mantle (Textile Fragment) - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine art print of an ancient Inca textile fragment, featuring geometric borders and circular medallions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis textile fragment originates from the Inca period in Peru. It displays the technical mastery of Andean weavers, who utilised camelid fibre and cotton to produce garments of high social status. The composition features a central field punctuated by two large, circular motifs, which are balanced by a lower border of geometric and zoomorphic figures. The iconography suggests a connection to ritual or administrative functions, as such textiles were often used to communicate status and ethnic identity within the Inca Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design relies on a clear, rhythmic arrangement of figures. The lower border consists of a zigzag pattern that frames small, stylised creatures. These figures are rendered with a focus on symmetry and repetition, which is characteristic of the period. The two large circular medallions at the top contain complex, layered patterns that contrast with the relative simplicity of the border elements. The use of negative space is deliberate, allowing the motifs to function as distinct visual markers against the plain ground of the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTextiles of this nature were highly valued in Andean societies, often serving as currency or diplomatic gifts. The preservation of this piece allows for an examination of pre-Columbian weaving techniques, including the use of tapestry-weave structures to create sharp, defined edges on the motifs. The monochromatic appearance in this reproduction reflects the original material qualities, where the focus remains on the structural integrity and the symbolic language of the woven forms. This print captures the historical weight of the object, providing a clear view of the ancient craftsmanship involved in its creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-striped-kaftan-textile-study-solis-prints\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Striped Kaftan, Textile Study) - Solis Prints — Solis Prints\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-victorian-leather-photo-album-cover-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Victorian Leather Photo Album Cover) - Fine Art Print — Fine Art Print\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975728992591,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975810847055,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975810879823,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975810912591,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975810945359,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975810978127,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975811010895,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975811043663,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975811076431,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975811109199,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975811141967,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975811174735,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mantle-Textile-Fragment-_Poster_CompositorV1_1790870174500.jpg?v=1790870698","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/mantle-textile-fragment-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
