TAPIZ COLONIAL REPLICA

Traditional Artistic Heritage Tapestry.

This tapestry represents the Andean cross, known as chacana in the Andean cultures of Perú. Known for a multitude of meanings, the chacana represents the Andean trilogy of condor, puma snake; the months of the year; and the law of social coexistence, among others. It also represents colonial or transitional motifs, such as mermaid characters with colonial costumes.

This work of art is made with alpaca fibers and natural dyes from plants, insects and minerals such as: cochineal, chillca, qolli, indigo, chapi, and kinsa k'ucho.

Thanks to his research in textiles around Cusco region for decades, Timoteo Ccarita could recover the art of tapestry used for garments of the noble Incas. Today his pieces are recognized as works of art.
