Pre-Columbian NAZCA WOVEN TEXTILE COCA BAG w/ Condor Snake & Bird Figures 100% GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC Nazca (sometimes spelled Nasca) is the name of a system of valleys on the southern coast of Peru . It is also the name applied to the Nazca culture that flourished in the area between 300 B.C. and A.D. 800. They were responsible for the famous Nazca lines . The Nazca people believed strongly in a life after death, this belief drew them to mummify their deceased and wrap them with textiles of the finest quality. The quality and colors are evident today, appearing as if they were woven yesterday. In the Nazca times, like in many other pre-Inca civilizations, the textiles seemed to have played an important role, and in the case of the Nazca, their textiles were made with fine art and great skill, using cotton and fibers of Andean llamas and alpacas. The Nazca culture considered their textiles to be an important element of the society, and in especial burials, the deceased had to be wrapped with these beautiful pieces of art with the aim of accompaning the deceased in the after life. The Nazca textiles were created with a high technological and intellectual point of view and are very sophisticated.
