Textile from Ocoña, Peru, is decorated in yellow and blue macaw feathers depicting two anthropomorphic beings with three camelids. The animals appear to be domesticated as one is attached to the human figure by a leash. The human figures are of ambiguous sex but may represent women based on the association of women and domesticated camelids in SAIS iconography. Drawn from photo (Bonavia 1994:211, Plate 162). Colors approximate.
