Re: Paracas style objects studied March 11-15, 2019

I wish to thank you so much for making it possible for me to study objects from the Paracas collection and those which can be attributed to the Paracas and early Nasca traditions based on their style and material composition.

On this research visit, I have been able to examine the following objects. For some textiles, I have undertaken further documentation of an object that I studied previously during July 4-12, 2018. I already have taken notes on those objects, as noted below. Here I note (X) the type of documentation undertaken for each object on this visit.

I would be happy to provide copies of all notes and images, should they be of use to the Museum. I look forward very much to requesting a future research visit to study other objects in the World Cultures Museum collections and custody.
