Paracas tapestry (Kon)
Delivery
Expected delivery of 5 - 15 days to your location.
Tapestry made through a traditional sheep wool dyeing process that consists of fixing the color in a container with hot water that will later cool so that the color is fixed uniformly on the thread.
Kon was considered the creator god of the world by cultures of the Peruvian coast such as Paracas and Nasca, who represented him flying with feline masks and carrying food, trophy heads and a staff; or with his prominent head and eyes, which is why he is also known as the “hidden God.”
It appeared by the sea, from the North, it had no bones or flesh, however its shape was human. He walked a lot and lightly, like a son of the Sun he traveled the mountains and valleys only with his will and his word. He creates the world, populates it with human beings to whom he provides abundant water and fruits. The men forgot the offerings they owed him, so he punished them by taking away the rains and transforming the fertile lands into immense coastal deserts. Kon only left some rivers to be maintained with irrigation and work.

"This store is unique compared to a lot of the other places I’ve looked at. The mestana cloths I ordered were even more beautiful in person. The seller shipped the items out promptly and it took just over a week to get to Florida. I plan to shop here again and support this small business!"

Offerings, ceremonies and rituals – Pachamama
Ancestral traditions that date back thousands of years are still being performed and practiced in the Andean highlands of Peru’s remote regions. The Despacho ceremony, an offering to Pachamama, is one of Peru’s oldest and most sacred rituals; one that allows the people of the Andes to give thanks to their one and only goddess: Pachamama, our Mother Earth.
A despacho offering is a symbolic way in which human beings give back to Pachamama for what they abundantly receive from her. In essence, the purpose is the restoration of exchange between humans and nature, bringing both into balance.
