Comment

Paracas is the name of a great culture of ancient Peru that developed
between 500 B.C. and 100 A.D., on the peninsula of the same name, south of the port of Pisco, in the department of Ica.
The Paracas were extraordinary weavers, skilled in combining
cotton fiber with that of camelids such as alpaca and vicuña.
The subjects usually depicted are supernatural creatures or shamans who use their hands to hold severed human heads while their wings carry them like birds. They could be used to represent their transport to the other world by spirits, or the spirits themselves providing the transport. Automatically translated

Paracas est le nom d'une grande culture de l'ancien Pérou qui s'est développée
entre les années 500 avant notre ère et 100 après JC, dans la péninsule du même nom, au sud du port de Pisco, dans le département d'Ica.
Les Paracas étaient des tisserands extraordinaires, compétents dans la combinaison de
la fibre de coton et celle de camélidés tels que l'alpaga et la vigogne.
Les sujets habituellement représentés sont des créatures surnaturelles ou chamanes qui utilisent leurs mains pour tenir des têtes humaines coupées tandis que leurs ailes les transportent comme des oiseaux. Elles pourraient servir à représenter leur transport vers l'autre monde par des esprits ou les esprits eux-mêmes assurant le transport.
