Anotations

Scope note:

Precolumbian works comprising textile panels to which feathers are stitched. The panels typically have a woven heading tape, and most also include braided cords that hang from the narrow sides. Although the cords suggest that these works were meant to be secured to a structure, their function is not agreed upon by scholars. Examples of feather panels are blue and yellow Wari works made from macaws' dorsal and ventral side feathers.
