Four-cornered caps, or gorros, were the attire of royalty in the Wari empire. The fabric of these caps was constructed using a single-element looping technique, forming lark's head knots made of two symmetrical simple loops. This example was formed by pieces sewn together: One strip creates the sides of the hat, a separate square defines the crown, and cylindrical tassels are attached to each of the four triangular shaped corners. The design panels alternate in red and blue. Each panel shows a standing figure whose center is marked by a diamond shape. A brown square outlined in blue forms the hat's crown.
