The colorful symbols in this large mesa are contrasted with bands of black and deep maroon. This piece makes a bold statement about the Q’ero people’s belief in the coming return of Inkarri (great Inka leader) and the coming resurgence of the greatness of the descendants of the Inka people. The solid wide bands represent the growing fields.  Indeed, each aspect of every textile expresses how the Q’ero people are integrated into the world of Pachamama — the agricultural fields, sunlight, air, water, skies, seasons — in short, the universe. Each textile is a visual form of cultural narrative rich in symbols and imagery like woven poetry.   Your purchase helps the weaver, her family, and her community build a more sustainable life and supports traditional Q’ero culture.  26 x 30.5 inches. 66 x 77.5 cm.
