Abstract
Since pre-Hispanic times, Muisca Indians (Altiplano Cundiboyacense, Colombia) knitted cotton cloths, their production continued during viceregal period and became support to easel painting. This paper analyses the continuities and the technical changes between Muisca cotton cloths before and after the Conquest within the social context of each period.
