📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Culture, through Vice-Ministerial Resolution No. 000237–2023 VMPCIC/MC, declared 3 pre-Hispanic movable cultural assets repatriated from Germany as Cultural Heritage of the Nation, considering their archaeological, historical, stylistic and social value.
The textiles in question stand out for their pre-Hispanic heritage, as they are a manifestation of the degree of development of manufacturing and textile art of the Chancay and Wari cultures, as well as the social organization of work during pre-Hispanic times.
They also have a stylistic value, as the textiles present geometrically stylized beings and shapes, which show a process of transformation of the natural forms observed in the environment, through the abstraction of the image.
These processes of iconographic expression denote an artistic and conceptual intention through the creation of figures with symbolic value embodied in objects that today allow us to interpret and understand ancestral techniques, hierarchical, ideological and social organizations.
The social value of these goods lies in the fact that they are a resource for understanding the Chancay and Wari societies. Their repatriation reinforces the recovery and protection of the country's cultural heritage, by incorporating these assets as Cultural Heritage of the Nation and guaranteeing their preservation for future generations.
The declaration of these pre-Hispanic textiles as Cultural Heritage of the Nation reflects the commitment and efforts of the Peruvian State to recover the illicitly removed heritage of our country in order to safeguard and promote the historical and cultural wealth of Peru.
