Poncho Tiklla
$2,833.00
This asymmetrical poncho, a piece of wearable art, features design that represent potato flowers, poppy flowers, llama traces, lagoons, and the fortress of Sacsayhuaman.
Technically, the poncho has 4 fields of discontinuous warp, representing the political division of the Inca state. Those four parts and colors refer to the 4 suyos or regions of the Tawantinsuyo, Inca empire.
Made with hand spun alpaca and woven on a back strap loom, the colors are achieved using ancestral knowledge to extract hues from plants, minerals and even the juice from tiny squashed insects which produce a bright red color.
