Fragment Possibly 600 - 800

This fragment was made by the Wari culture. We see it as an eloquent example of visual symbols, laden with historical and cultural significance. Notice the geometric motifs and vibrant colors, each carrying its own symbolic weight within the Wari society. The motif of concentric circles in these textiles mirrors similar patterns found across various cultures and eras; it's a universal symbol. It is found in ancient Greece, and even in the mandalas of Tibetan Buddhism. These patterns transcend mere aesthetics; they echo something deep within the human psyche. It’s a reminder of the collective unconscious, how certain forms resonate across time and space, connecting us to the past. One can’t help but wonder if this symbol, so pervasive in human expression, taps into our deepest existential questions, our yearning for understanding our place in the vast cosmos.
