Peruvian tapestries - double-woven and double-faced.
“Ayacucho” tapestry was initially woven in The refined artistry of the Ayacucho weave, inherited from the Incas, is achieved using a double-pedalled loom. The wool is died in big cauldrons over an open wood fire. Natural dyes are used for the clear hues and industrial ones for the darker hues. The artisan or weaver works according to a predetermined sketch that is then carefully finished by hand. Ayacucho textiles are 95% wool and 5% cotton. 90% of the dyes used are natural, extracted from the region’s flora, and the remaining 10% are artificial colours. Many of the traditional designs are geometric in nature, taken from stone temple carvings and Codices (talking picture books of the ancient Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs). A work of resplendent artistry for the admirer of pre-Hispanic civilizations
