This textile depicts a male figure, shown holding two hooked staffs. Beside him is a giant composite creature with a deer or camelid head (note the blunt teeth). The hook-shaped heads above the creature's ear suggest it may have had a body like the staffs held by the human figure. Depicting inanimate objects as animals is a common practice in Andean art, which conveys an association between the object and the qualities that the animal embodies.
