- Lot Description
South America, Bolivia, Aymara (Aimara) people, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A beautiful wool textile that displays traditional dying and weaving techniques perfected over hundreds of years. The piece is comprised of finely woven fibers of wool from a sheep or camelid, such as llama or alpaca. The threads are dyed in lovely muted tones with some brighter contrasts in hues of moss green, wine red, yellow, brown, blue, red, black, and beige. The center is a solid green and the edges are embroidered with diamond shaped patterns. The patterning along the edges is a intricate motif of waves and geometric shapes with alternating bands of colors. This would be a wonderful piece to display, such as a table runner or wall tapestry. Size: 64" L x 17" W (162.6 cm x 43.2 cm)
The Aymara are an indigenous group who live in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile, in the Altiplano, mostly in the high-altitude valley around Lake Titicaca. They are famous for their many different styles and types of woven textiles, which they have made for thousands of years. After the arrival of the Spanish, Aymara woven textiles became a way for indigenous people to mark their identity - first, as a symbol of status for Mestizos who could not afford European textiles, and then as a way of showing rebellion to the Spanish after other forms of clothing were outlawed following native uprisings. Today they continue to make these beautiful textiles, which have gained worldwide acclaim.
