A short 1943 article by Nellie Sargent Johnson describing a fragment of an ancient Peruvian slit tapestry (kelim-type) from her collection. She gives the warp and weft materials, colors and sett, a charted design on cross-section paper, and diagrams showing how to work the slits and turn colors around warp threads. Two variations seen on other fragments are also drawn, and she offers one fragment for sale.
