This traditional mesa cloth was woven with four rows of Inti — the sacred Light and Sun. The weaving expresses the Q’ero people’s reciprocal relationship of AYNI with all elements of the universe. The wide black bands and deep maroon bands represent the uncultivated fields. Lucia Gerillo Machaca knelt on the ground leaning over her loom for many days to produce this classic textile. 24×18.5 inches. 66 x 47 cm. Your purchase helps Lucia, her family, and her community build a more sustainable life. All proceeds go directly to the weaver and community projects.
