This large, gorgeous altar cloth was woven by young weaver, Yajaida Gerillo Machaca, in her home community of Quico. Each band of the sacred Inti symbols are bordered in the stratified rainbow, the colors known for the flag of Cusco. The bright contrasting Inti symbols depict the sun God balanced between night and day. The stratified bands of maroon and black create a grounding effect. A photo of the weaver holding this mesa is included with the purchase. 30 x 26 inches. 76 x 66 cm.
