Description

Javier Landa in Ayacucho, Peru creates this incredible original tapestry. Working on a 2-pedal loom with alpaca-blend yarns, he weaves an abstract collage of Andean motifs, including a condor, a puma and a serpent. The three sacred creatures are known as the Inca trilogy, as they represent (respectively) the heavens, the earthly realm and the underworld. The artisan uses a technique called i arwi /i , from a Quechua word meaning "to entangle", to add rich textural accents throughout the piece. The tapestrys rich jewel-toned palette makes it a fabulous addition to any space.
