Lucia Samata Machaca is a master weaver in her community of Ccochamarca. She created this cheerful mesa cloth using natural spun alpaca threads and integrated bright colors (made with natural dyes) for the four rows of Inkarri / Chunchu figures. The symbols of the sacred Chunchu express the traditional Q’ero myth of the coming return of Inkarri (great Inka leader) and the resurgence of the greatness of the descendants of the Inka people. This mesa evokes a calm confidence in a world coming into harmony and balance. Your purchase helps Lucia, her family, and her community build a more sustainable life and supports traditional Q’ero culture. 28.5 x 27.5 inches. 72 x 69.5 cm.
