  Andean tapestry: structure informs the surface
An important and unusual aspect of Recuay, Huari, Tiwanaku, and Inca highland tapestry is the use of a vertical tapestry loom, a wide loom almost seven feet in width, with the warp oriented in the shortest direction.
Huari tapestry tunics are distributed throughout the Huari sphere of influence and uncovered in coastal cemeteries from the Huarmey Valley in the north to the Acari Valley on the Peruvian south coast.
Huari tunics are approximately the same shape and size as Tiwanaku tunics, were woven with brilliantly dyed camelidae-fiber wefts in interlocked tapestry technique on the wide loom, and were worn with the warp oriented horizontally.

The Wari (or in Spanish spelling and other common name, Huari) was a Middle Horizon civilization that flourished in the Andes in the south of modern-day Peru, from about 500 to 1200 A.D. The capital city of the same name is located near the modern city of Ayacucho, Peru.
This city was the center of a civilization that covered much of the highlands and coast of modern Peru.
Also well-known are the Wari ruins of Pikillaqta ('Flea Town') a short distance south-east of Cuzco en route to Lake Titicaca, which date from the Wari period before the Incas rose to power in the region.
