Lambayeque textiles typically consist of multiple weavings joined together to create larger panels and garments. This panel feature repeating rows of designs, with motifs including a human figure and a large white bird, both wearing crescent headdresses. With this pairing of human and animal figures, the textile may allude to a legend of an ancestral lord who escaped death by sprouting wings and flying away.
