| ANCIENT TEXTILES | Pre-Columbian Regions |
The William Siegal Gallery is recognized as the leading gallery for Pre-Columbian and Aymara textiles. For three thousand years, the art of weaving was the most important artistic and cultural expression of the many highly developed Pre-Columbian Andean societies. Each of the textiles in our collection exhibits the epitome of technical weaving skill and artistry.
