介绍（中）	在公元第一个千年的下半叶，秘鲁的瓦里人从他们的首都瓦里（今阿亚库乔东北几英里）对南部沿海和高原地区施加了强大的文化和政治影响。他们引入了一种独特的艺术风格，可以在精美的彩色陶瓷、由珍贵材料制成的精美个人装饰品、木材、贝壳和石头上精心雕刻的作品，尤其是在精致的纺织品上。色彩鲜艳的扎染束腰外衣具有纯粹的几何图案，也受到高度重视。复杂的生产过程包括将织物紧密束束（它比挂毯编织布轻），将纱线绑在束上，并将织物浸入染料中。装订下方的织物不吸收染料;松开领带，露出一个原始的浅色图案，通常是空心钻石或圆形，如本例所示。
介绍（英）	In the second half of the first millennium A.D., the Wari peoples of Peru exerted strong cultural and political influence over the southern coastal and highland regions from their capital city, also called Wari (a few miles northeast of present-day Ayacucho). They introduced a distinctive art style, found on fine polychrome ceramics, exquisite personal ornaments crafted of precious materials, expertly carved works in wood, shell, and stone, and especially on elaborate textiles. The vividly colored tie-dyed tunics featuring purely geometric motifs were also highly valued. The complex process of production involved tightly bunching the fabric (it is lighter than tapestry-woven cloth), tying a yarn around the bunch, and immersing the fabric in dye. The fabric underneath the binding did not absorb the dye; releasing the tie revealed a motif in the original, lighter color, typically a hollow diamond or a circle, as seen in this example.
