This unique cloth is finely woven with pure alpaca yarns in their natural earth-toned hues. This mesa is soft and thick and expertly woven. This ceremonial altar cloth was woven by Beatriz Apasa Quispe, a master weaver, in her community of Hapu. The intricate design is a fourfold diamond configuration representing the sun throughout the day (sunrise, noon, sunset, midnight.)Â The highly stylized crosshatching inside and blooming outward from the corners creates a floral motif known as T’ika, or flower. This symbolizes fertility, abundance and growth. Your purchase helps Beatriz and her community build a more sustainable life and supports traditional Q’ero culture. Measures nearly square 27 x 26.5 inches. 69 x 68 cm.
