Cool. I painted a gouache illustration of this scene. Pic related.
Do you think there are places that still make stuff like this, even just for decoration?
I would love some of this stuff to be set up as a conversation piece

What stuff are you talking about specifically?
>>1625717
The armor mainly, I know there are people who still use the formal wear for certain ceremonies, beautiful work actually.
>>1625759
I know the Inca have began wearing traditional clothing in a Sun ceremony. Most indigenous clothing nowadays though has been influenced with Western styles.
>>1625818
>>1625820
>>1625818
That was going to happen eventually, besides surrealism was influenced by Native paintings so it is all give and take as things go on.
>>1625818
To think all those beautiful clothes were made out of camelids' wool. Man, I love the New World.
>>1625992
I am just amazed that we know so much about all the different aspects of their lives considering everything that went down.
>>1626005
Yeah, so little, yet so much. As if the New World is still being discovered.

Man, this shit actually looks pretty cool, why did you guys kill them again?
>>1629024
Feels bad.
>>1629024
They practically killed themselves
Not trying to be edgy, but I fucking love ancient piercings and tattoos. To do that shit by hand with limited medical knowledge and primitive stone/metal tools is unthinkable to me. Getting your whole body tattooed by hand. Imagine how long that would take, how excruciatingly painful.
Also how the fuck did people come up with any of that shit? Imagine the first dude to get his nose or ears (let alone his dick) pierced, what a madman.
Wish i had something to contribute. Southeast Asian/Pacific stuff is especially wacky (I'm looking at you, Papa New Guinea).

Tlatilco culture predated both the Aztecs and Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico. And they were contemporary to the Olmec.

Maya are pretty short. If you go to Guatemala and the Yucatan you'll find many are about 5 feet tall. I know one Maya lady she's about 4'9". Though it's odd because the Spanish friar de Landa in the 1500s remarked how tall the people of the Yucatan were.

If they had had naked arquebuesiers to go with the naked pikemen they could have had a naked Spanish square.

Zapotec Indian girl painted in 1928 with a wrap-around cotton skirt. Over her head and upper body is a sheer garment termed 'huipil grande'.

correction *1828 not 1928
>>1634002
That'll be because they practiced head binding.

Ceramic thongs from Marajo (precolumbian Amazonian settlement) to cover the genitals (tied with a string around the body). At first thought to be used only ceremonially,but a closer look reveals they were probably worn much more regularly.
