Textiles and Weavings

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
