Descripción
Sumario:The Museo Regional de Iquique, Chile, holds a patrimony of extraordinary value consisting of offerings preserved from an Inca capacocha ceremony. The ceremony, an extremely important Inca ritual carried out throughout Tawantinsuyu took place approximately between the years 1399 and 1475 AC. in cerro Esmeralda near this city. This 1976-discovery revealed two female bodies and a group of more than seventy-seven artifacts, which include a majority of textiles (70%).The Esmeralda site, unlike others found primarily in high-altitude mountain regions was discovered at a low altitude (905 m.a.s.l.). The bodies of the women were wearing exactly the same garments that the clothed miniature figurines that were found in several of the capacocha burials from other sites in the Andes. Recent preparation of these materials for their display in the museum have allowed us to record their details and initiate comparative studies among Inca women’s garments that have been preserved both in real scale and their miniature similes. This work presents the progress made in the study that considers material, technical and formal aspects of the textiles in relation to composition, color and iconography that follow the strict patterns that have appeared to have been established by the Inca State.
