Third-fifth century ce alpaca and natural dyes (various bound shibori on scaffold weave)

Each woven shape is defined by selvages on all its edges.
Some of them must have been sewn together and tied and dyed, then taken apart to be assembled as patchwork.
Three primary natural dye colors were used to create complex colors. In South America, pre-Columbian shibori examples, called amarras, are found, although the tradition of making amarras has been lost.
