    Description

    Beautiful Mesa Quepe - Textile weaved in the Community of Patacancha.
    This Andean textile called Mesa quepe or mastana are used by the Paqos 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 Cloth was woven in the community of  Patacancha, located in the mountains north of Calca (Sacred Valley)  - Cusco. This mastana has birds, flowers, llama, puma, and geometrical designs. The designs are reversible, these textiles 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.This textile will be a good addition to your 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.
