This rustic vintage Bolivian Aguayo kilim is a vibrant expression of Andean heritage, traditionally used by Indigenous women to carry babies, food, or goods on their backs. Handwoven in thick wool, the textile showcases a richly textured field dominated by horizontal stripes in warm earthy tones, burnt sienna, ochre, clay, and espresso, interspersed with accents of crimson, ivory, and violet.
The design is both functional and decorative, with rhythmic striping and occasional symbolic motifs, such as small chevrons and geometric elements woven in brighter colours like orange and black. These motifs often hold cultural significance, representing fertility, protection, or natural elements.
Its slightly irregular weave and sun-faded patina reflect both age and authenticity, enhancing its artisanal character. Whether used as a wall hanging, table cover, or accent textile, this Aguayo kilim carries the spirit of the highlands—blending tradition, utility, and timeless beauty in every thread.
Authentic antique and vintage Bolivian kilim are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
