介绍（中）	印加束腰外衣，在安第斯山脉的盖丘亚语中称为unku，通常比宽长。它们由一块布制成，织机长度是衬衫的宽度 - 也就是说，它们是侧向编织的，经线在短方向上，然后折叠起来。两侧缝合在一起，在顶部为手臂留有孔。颈部的槽是用不连续的经纱编织的。像现在这样精美的挂毯束腰外衣在印加时代是具有巨大声望和价值的物品。它们的所有权和使用受到国家的严格控制。它们通常被皇帝作为皇家礼物赠予，以奖励军事成就或政治服务或建立忠诚纽带。印加束腰外衣在设计布局和图案选择上传达了强烈的秩序感和僵化的组织感。这个例子中的网格排列非常常见，包含八角星的正方形与程式化的鱼或鸟交替出现。这件束腰外衣可能是由秘鲁南部海岸的艺术家编织的，那里的八角星是常见的设计图案。
介绍（英）	Inca tunics, called unku in the Quechua language of the Andes, are usually longer than they are wide. They were made from a single piece of cloth, the loom length being the width of the shirt--that is, they were woven sideways, with the warp in the short direction, and then folded over. The sides were sewn together, leaving holes for the arms at the top. The slot for the neck was woven with discontinuous warps. Fine tapestry tunics like the present example were items of great prestige and value during Inca times. Their ownership and use were strictly controlled by the state. They were commonly bestowed as royal gifts by the emperor to reward military achievements or political service or to create bonds of loyalty. Inca tunics convey a strong sense of order and rigid organization in the layout of the designs and standardization in the choice of motifs. The grid arrangement on this example is very common, with squares containing eight-pointed stars alternating with stylized fish or birds. The tunic was probably woven by artists on the far southern coast of Peru, where the eight-pointed star was a frequent design motif.
