An article in the Telas de los Muertos series on supplementary weft patterning in ancient Peruvian textiles from the Science Museum of Minnesota collection. It explains how supplementary wefts differ from embroidery and describes the main structures with diagrams: brick alignments with short and long floats, paired floats, rib, free weft float patterning, and columns (Dukagang). It also covers the materials (cotton ground, cameloid wool supplementary wefts), thread counts, and design motifs, with photographs of five museum fragments.
