    Description

    This is an authentic Shipibo Hand Painted Geometric Design Textile Tapestry, representing Shipibo cosmology.  The designs are
    drawn
    with natural berry pigments and/or dye from bark on cotton fabric. The colors are black, brown & white/cream.
    Simple yet captivating, unlike the modern colorful
    embodied
    modern work, this is
    Traditional Original Shipibo work which is now rarely seen and hard to find.
    Painting on garments and other items with natural pigments is the way that the Shipibo used to decorate their items before turning to
    embroidery
    .
    This item came from deep in the Amazon Rainforest from an area of over 8 hours river ride far from Pulcapa Peru.
    The dimensions of the textile are: 1' 1/2" wide x 63" long.
    It can beautifully be used as a wall hanging or draped over a table.
