"A casual visitor to the Metropolitan Museum of Art can be forgiven for thinking the 12 ancient feathered panels to be installed there next week are the work of a more modern artist. Each rectangular piece features thousands of blue-and-gold Macaw feathers layered in a simple, abstract design that&amp;#039;s drawn comparisons to something by Mark Rothko or Paul Klee. Amazingly, the panels date back to the eighth-century \u2014 they were discovered in excellent condition, rolled up in large ceramic jars \u2014 and are the work of Peruvian textile artists. Find the works, fittingly, on the wall bridging the ancient South American and contemporary art galleries. The show opens September 17. metmuseum.org.
