Peruvian Aguayo Table Cloth - Handmade Andean Mountain Textile

Description

Beautiful Textile - It was woven in the Region of Puno - Peru.
This textile called Mesa quepe or mastana are used by the Paqos or Jamp'ec( Medicine man) as a tool for a ceremony called despacho, pago a la Pachamama ( pay to the Mother Earth). The mesa quepe is essential because all the items are set on it. This mastana was woven in the Region of Puno, located by the Titicaca lake - East of Cusco. This mastana has geometrical designs. The designs are reversible.They are used traditionally as altar cloths for one's "mesa" (or shamanic altar) or as a surface for doing coca leaf divination. However they are also very lovely and unique for use in home decor, table coverings, or collection.
PACHAMAMA.-
Pachamama ( Mother Earth) in Quechua is the central all - surrounding motif of the Andean path. The religion of the Andean communities is very much an earth-centered religion. Pachamama is believed to be a vastly intelligent, self-aware being who is both infinitely wise and infinitely compassionate. Andeans in general, and paq'os in particular pray to her regularly.
DESPACHO - HAYWARISQ'A
.- Is the Quechua word for an offering. A despacho is an act of love and a reminder of the connections we share with all beings, elements, spirits, and sacred places. It is an opportunity to enter into the essential unity of all things. A despacho is created during a celebratory ceremony, in the cosmology of the Andes.
