Description
The beautiful woven symbols represent “saqas tika” — the furrows, fields and flowering plants — in beautiful balance. The entire textile is visual poetry that expresses the Q’ero people’s intimate relationship with the earth and with all aspects of the natural and spiritual world and strong connection to Pachamama, the Apus, and all beings. The deep burgundy bands contrast nicely with the deep rose threads. Created by Ignacia Machacca Apaza of Hapu Q’eros. 27 x 25 inches. 69 x 63.5 cm. Your purchase supports the weaver, her family, and her community.
