This vintage South American handwoven wool poncho textile showcases a vibrant and intricate display of traditional craftsmanship. Woven entirely from natural wool, the textile features vertical bands of geometric and diamond motifs in vivid colours such as fuchsia, lemon yellow, cobalt blue, and emerald green, interspersed with softer, earthy tones of beige and brown. The symmetrical layout is anchored by bold central stripes, suggesting a traditional poncho construction with an opening along the centre line. Finished with multicoloured fringes on all sides, the piece reflects Andean or Quechua weaving traditions, blending heritage patterns with a joyful palette. Its bold yet balanced design makes it a cultural artefact and a striking decorative textile.
