Ancient Peruvian art, volume 4, is an 1902 archaeological catalogue of Inca-era objects assembled by Arthur Baessler, published in Berlin and New York and translated by A.H. Keane for scholars and collectors. The pictures are flat, stylised line and colour plates of textile and ceramic motifs, with stepped fret borders, geometric blocks, and stern frontal figures that suggest bold, repeatable pattern work for designers.
