**Originally Listed At $500**
New World, South America, Bolivia, Aymara (Aimara) peoples, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A lovely ceremonial blanket, woven from camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in hues of dark-brown, teal, cream, pink, and espresso. The blanket features a pair of thick strips of pink fibers with a central teal stripe, and the brown areas to either side have paired pink pinstripe additions running the length of the blanket. A wonderful example! Size: 27.5" W x 60.5" H (69.8 cm x 153.7 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.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Brenda Carvajal collection, Spain
