From The Met: "Join scholar Carol Rodríguez and conservator Christine Giuntini in an exploration of the Wari Feathered Panels (600–900 CE), nine of which are now installed in the newly-renovated Michael C. Rockefeller Wing. In 1943 a cache of ninety-six feather panels was found in the Churunga Valley in Peru. The panels had been rolled up and placed in ceramic jars that were then buried at a ceremonial center. Each panel is densely covered with tens of thousands of feathers, primarily from the blue-and-yellow macaw, which lives in the Amazonian rainforest."

More From The Met: "The feathers were individually hand-knotted onto cotton strings and then stitched onto plain-weave cotton panels. These panels, nine of which are on display in the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, may have once adorned the walls of a building."
