A first-person account by weaving instructor Nellie Sargent Johnson of her summer 1939 trip to Peru, covering museum study in Lima, a visit to the Pachacamac ruins, and a four-day trip to the Andes and Huancayo. She describes pieces from her own collection of ancient Peruvian textiles: a narrow backstrap-type loom from a mummy bundle, a puma-head brocade with a tapestry-woven fringe, double weave pieces with bird and fish motifs, a slit tapestry variation and a tapestry-woven gauze. Photographs illustrate the loom and textiles; no drafts are given.
