Flocks of birds in graceful flight surround the beautiful stylized butterflies hovering in the center of this magnificent wool tapestry by Cerapio Vallejo. The abstract geometric motifs are reminiscent of the traditional patterns used by the ancient cultures of southern Peru to decorate ceramics and textiles as well as buildings. The varied shades of color in this piece are obtained by skillfully mixing natural dyes. The soft weave and fine detail are a tribute to the dedication and passion of a talented artisan as he creates a magnificent regional accent for any setting. As versatile as it is beautiful, this tapestry may be used as a floor covering or bed coverlet. Made from 90% sheep's wool, 10% cotton.
