PACHA - Peruvian rug - Blanket

These blankets were initially created to cover from the frosts of the Andean heights, in our high cities in Peru, the cold can reach below 0ºC, the Andean mothers created this weaving technique made in "Loom" to take care and protect their whole family from the dangers of the cold in their areas, this technique was created by the people of Puno and Cuzco more than 2000 years ago.
Andean women had the obligation to learn how to weave and teach the women of the family this legacy. All the designs learned are transmitted from generation to generation and are inspired by beliefs, religion, nature, flora and fauna.
The women only had knowledge of their own villages, because many of these villages are very far from the city, and have no road.
The women artisans express their daily life experiences in these textiles because they did not know how to read or write and this is a form of expression. Each figure has a different meaning. You can find:
Inca calendar, lagoons, Andean duality (men and women), puma claws, Inca princess eyes, puma eyes, condor beak and many other shapes.
Each blanket is made in a unique and natural way.
Different types of plants and fruits are used for the painting to acquire each color.a
