Description

This one of a kind, handmade textile was designed by the Shipibo people, an Indigenous tribe that lives in the Amazon Jungle. The Shipibo see and hear patterns in nature and reproduce them in both song and design. These patterns hold specific energies, such as: protection, healing, abundance or harmony. Each design is a song that can be sung; the design functions as a musical score, called an Icaro. The design element and the Icaro operate cohesively to carry the power of the healing or blessing.

This textile is 27.25 x 27 inches and is suitable for framing and hanging.
