[Illustration: Fig. 39. Peruvian embroidery from Ica.] The general arrangement of these types is as follows: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3a 4 1 6 5a 4 1 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 6 5 4 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 6 5 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 6 5 4 1 2 3 4 1 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 6 5 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 6b 5 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 4 1 2 3 4 1 6 5 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 6 5c 4 1 2b 3c 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 6 5 4 1 2 3 4 1 In the actual arrangement there are apparently three mistakes. In the first horizontal line, the two figures marked with the note _a_ have been exchanged. In line six and line eight the two figures marked with the note _b_ have been transposed and in line eight the two figures with the note _c_ have been exchanged. It will be seen that when these transpositions have been effected the diagonal lines running from the first row down to the left, follow a regular alternation of types. Type 6 is clearly related to 2, and type 5 to 3. Since in quite a number of woven garments regular diagonal sequences may be observed, it seems likely that these were particular determinants of the style. There are in all, six different types, but if we imagine the lines continued, it would be found that the same order will occur after twelve lines. The embroidery does not represent a regular six-unit design but is rather a four unit design of two distinct types—1 2 3 4 and 1 6 5 4,—in which the former type is repeated twice and the latter once. Similar observations may be made on the fabrics illustrated in Reiss and Stübel’s “Necropolis of Ancon”. I have selected a few specimens that illustrate the rhythmic repetition of color. Figure 40[34] represents a band with red background on which are animal figures in the following sequence: _purple_, yellow, _green_, yellow, _white_, yellow, _green_, yellow in other words a sequence of eight units consisting of one purple and one white design interrupted by the symmetrical color sequence yellow, green, yellow. The yellow designs are surrounded by a heavy black border. [34] Reiss and Stübel, Necropolis of Ancon, p. 67 b, fig. 3. [Illustration: Fig. 40. Peruvian fabric.] [Illustration: Fig. 41.
