The Llama Tapestry in Ivory
This hand-woven tapestry features The Llama, a highly important animal native to the Argentinian Northwest - where this tapestry was made. The Llama is surrounded by the Andean cross motif and mountain peaks that represent the desert highlands.
This tapestry was woven in Jujuy, Argentina, on a traditional loom using lambswool that is spun and dyed by hand. The asymmetries and beauty marks are part of what make this artisanal piece so unique, and in our eyes, so perfect.

Looks good
This tapestry looks even better in person. Quality is high and the colors are rich and vibrant. It looks perfect hanging on my wall.
The llama tapestry I ordered arrived today and I couldn't be happier. The quality is top-notch and I smile every time I walk by my new art. Thanks so much!
Cornelio and co spin the wool into yarn using home-made wheels, dye the yarn using primarily natural pigments, and then weave intricate patterns on artisanal looms. The result is outstanding.
