Lucia Gerillo Machaca, from the community of Hapu, created this lovely mesa. The 4 rows of images of Inkarri (Chunchu) in this mesa cloth evoke strength and confidence in a world coming into harmony and balance. The bands are woven between subtle stripes of black and deep maroon. The Inkarri expresses the Q’ero people’s belief in the coming return of Inkarri (great Inka leader) and the resurgence of the greatness of the descendants of the Inka people. Lucia used her skills to create this handsome woven textile framing the Inkarri with deep maroon and black fields. She knelt on the ground outside her home in Hapu Grande above 12,000 feet in elevation under the watchful protection of Apu Mama Rosa. Your purchase helps her children and her community build a more sustainable life and supports traditional Q’ero culture. 28 x 25 inches, 71 x 63.5 cm.
