Explanation:

The Inca Empire was the largest of the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican empires. It was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. The civilization arose in the 13th century and lasted until it was conquered by the Spanish in 1572. The empire's administrative, political and military center was located in Cusco (also spelled Cuzco) in present-day Peru.

One of the most important artistic expressions of the Inca Empire is the textile production. From its extremely complex colors and patterns the fabrics denoted the social status, profession and achievements of a citizen.

The main colors used in Incas textiles were black, white, green, yellow, orange, purple and red. These colors came from natural dyes that were extracted from plants, minerals, insects and mollusks. The colors also had specific associations.

Some textiles were also manufacturedso that they could only be worn for certain tasks or social events. A rougher fabric, made of llama wool and called awaska, was used in daily household chores.
