Inka textiles
Inka textiles were recognized throughout the Empire as a sign of imperial authority
In Chile’s far north, the Inkas imposed their own cultural patterns on local groups, and the textiles that were of particular political and religious importance to them were no exception. This established uniformity dictated that even textiles made in the outlying provinces had to have an unmistakable Inka seal, following the technological and stylistic canons of the Tawantinsuyu. Particular examples include the finely crafted cumbi cloth, some of them with tokapu’s design, which was reserved for the highest ranked Inka dignitaries, and the weaving of ceremonial cloth chuspa-bags according to approved Imperial patterns and colors. When the Caranga and Pacaje altiplano cultures established colonies on the north valleys and coast of this region, they introduced new techniques and styles for clothing and other textiles, imposing their ways on the well developed polychrome textile traditions of local cultures of the time. They favored the use of undyed camelid wool for unku-shirts, chumbi-sashes and agricultural saks, with simple striped designs in contrasting colors. The polychrome and Inka style geometric patterns were reserved for only a few special and exclusive textile items.
