This vintage Bolivian Aymara wool textile is a striking example of Andean weaving tradition, showcasing the cultural richness of the highlands. Woven entirely by hand, it features deep earthy tones of brown accented with intricate geometric bands in shades of red, ochre, and cream, along with a vibrant multicoloured stripe that adds a touch of liveliness. The design is symmetrical, featuring repeating diamond and chevron patterns characteristic of Aymara symbolism, which likely represent agricultural fertility and spiritual harmony. Crafted from natural-dyed wool, this textile was likely used as a carrying cloth or shawl, and its soft texture and bold patterning make it ideal for display or functional décor.
