Flora Apaza Samata created this soft mesa cloth using all natural alpaca fibers to depict the sacred Inkarri / Chunchu figures. The mirrored symbols of the Inkarri represent the legend of the beheading of Inkarri (chunchu) who is believed to be returning to restore the grandeur of the Q’ero people. Flora wove this mesa kneeling on the ground outside her home in Quico, Q’eros at over 14,000 feet in elevation. Your purchase includes a photo of Flora holding this mesa, and proceeds go to help her family, and her community build a more sustainable life and supports traditional Q’ero culture.  24 x 30 inches. 61 x 76 cm.
