Product Description

This exquisite sheep wool tapestry portrays a young Andean woman spinning sheep wool with an instrument called a pushcca, a technique that the people of the Andean countryside have used for ages. The artist uses natural dyes to attain the rich hues in this piece, achieving spectacularly subtle modeling and expression in this intricate and challenging medium. Note the careful attention to detail throughout the entire composition and the apt rendering of the intent concentration that the young woman's visage conveys. A beautiful piece to display in any space of the home or office. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers.
