This woollen antique Bolivian Aymara textile is a beautifully woven piece that reflects the rich weaving traditions of the Aymara people. The textile features a striking array of horizontal stripes in warm, earthy tonesred, rust, cream, brown, and touches of yellow and greenarranged in a rhythmic pattern across the surface.
The design includes alternating narrow and wide bands, some with intricate geometric motifs and others with solid or subtly variegated colours. This showcases the weaver’s skill and aesthetic sensibility. The ends are finished with short, twisted fringe, adding a rustic charm.
Traditionally used as a carrying cloth or blanket, this textile served a practical purpose and expressed cultural identity and artistry. It’s a fine example of indigenous Andean craftsmanship, embodying beauty and heritage.
