antropomorfo en general

Zoomorphic figurative motif of the human figure, belonging to the known world (liq'u) and the earthly world. In archaeological textiles we find this figure in different postures and with different symmetries, depending on the culture it belongs to (Paracas, Chancay, Nazca). Often it has zoomorphic features, indicating a religious condition. On the other hand, in ethnographic textiles what is common is the elaboration of anthropomorphic figures, connected with some activity (fishing, hunting). We can distinguish between the anthropomorphic in general: of which it can be said that it has no identificatory feature; and the specifically anthropomorphic: a human figure that from its attributes has to be identified with a concrete person recognised by a social group.

Motivo figurativo zoomorfo de la figura humana, perteneciente al mundo conocido (liq'u) y el mundo terrenal. En textiles arqueológicos hallamos esta figura en distintas posturas y simetrías, dependiendo de la cultura a la que pertenezca (Paracas, Chancay, Nasca). A menudo posee rasgos zoomorfos, indicando una condición religiosa. En cambio, en los textiles etnográficos es común la elaboración de antropomorfos vinculados a alguna actividad (pesca, caza). Podemos distinguir entre antropomorfo en general: dícese del cual no tiene ningún rasgo identificador; y antropomorfo específico: figura humana que por sus atributos debería identificarse en un personaje concreto reconocido por un grupo social.
