A special alpaca and wool blend woven Andean textile comes to us from a private collector. Gently used and in excellent condition, this piece is called a wedding weaving because part of its repeating design in either band includes two birds facing each other in a show of affection. Beautifully finished on all four edges with a typical desing and style known in some regions as nawi awapa, or eye border thought to have special protective qualities. Learn More

Our hand woven Shipibo falda cloth is painstakingly hand embroidered in geometric fractal designs representing sacred songs called icaros inspired by the Shipibo's relationship with ayahuasca based, jungle cosmology. This icaro woven into this cloth is said to be the song for good travels on medicine. Handmade in the Amazon of Peru.
