Catalogue of a 1961 exhibition of Peruvian Spanish-Colonial textiles at The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., written by director Alan R. Sawyer. It lists 38 items with short descriptions, dimensions and accession or lender information. These include Inca-style shirts and mantles, interlocking tapestry hangings, rugs, ponchos and painted church cloths, plus Mexican and Guatemalan pieces, a Spanish design prototype rug, silver and a painting. An introduction covers provenience, tapestry technique and materials (cotton and alpaca warps, cochineal and indigo dyes, silver thread). Six black-and-white figures illustrate selected pieces.
