| The Nazca culture thrived on the arid south coast of Peru between A.D. 100 and 800. They are renowned not only for their exquisitely painted pottery but also for their colorful and complex textiles. This ceramic vessel depicting a mythical figure from Nazca culture was collected by anthropologist Alfred L. Kroeber during the Captain Marshall Field Second Archaeological Expedition to Peru in 1926.
