Classic Peruvian poncho. Beautiful drape, style for all!

One Size Fits Most - height 36" - width 50" - neck opening width 14"

These alpaca headbands are a functional accessory made from the soft, warm, and insulating fleece of alpacas, known for its thermal properties and moisture-wicking abilities. Beyond its practical use for warmth, a headband can hold symbolic meaning related to the alpaca's qualities like gentle strength, resiliance, and softness. 

Authentic indigenous hand beaded headbands are traditional pieces often worn for ceremonial purposes.  Each bead and design is chosen by artisans to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece.

Each bead is placed by hand, following traditional patterns passed down through generations. No two pieces are exactly alike — each carries its own energy, story, and intention.

Authentic Shipibo-Conibo Embroidered Altar Cloth

Alar cloths are spiritually significant textiles featuring intricate geometric patterns (Kene) that visually represent icaros and visions from Ayahuasca, serving as portals to the plant medicine energy, providing spiritual protection, healing, and connection to ancestral wisdom for shamans and owners alike. 

• Visual Icaros: The patterns are visual representations (like musical scores) of sacred plant songs, translating spiritual melodies into tangible art.
• Cosmology & Visions: Designs reveal the Shipibo worldview, spirits of the jungle, and visions experienced during Ayahuasca ceremonies, connecting viewers to this spiritual realm.
• Plant Medicine Energy: Each pattern carries the specific healing power and essence of particular medicinal plants, such as the Anaconda or Chacruna.
• Spiritual Protection & Healing: The cloths are believed to hold protective energy, offering spiritual healing, confidence, and inner knowing to those who use them.
• Interconnectedness: They symbolize the deep connection between the Shipibo people, nature, and the spirit world, acting as a bridge

Usage

• Altars: Used as sacred coverings on altars for ceremonies.
• Ceremonial Art: Created and used by shamans for healing and spiritual work.
• Wall Hangings: To bring protective and healing energies into a space

A message from the Artisan:

Hello, good day. My name is Sully, and I am from the Shipibo-Conibo ethnic group. I was born in the native community of Puerto Consuelo, but I currently live in the native community of San Salvador.

The women of my tribe are dedicated to making handicrafts with embroidered fabrics and also with ancestral seeds. We teach the girls of my tribe to embroider from a very young age. It is a hobby for many girls, and for boys it is fishing. My ancestors were shamans, dedicated to ancestral medicine. Many of our older women were doctors, and thanks to them, we grew up healthy and safe. As a child, I suffered from an illness that was said to be incurable in the community, but thanks to our plants, I am now healthy and safe. I am very happy and grateful because I can teach and share many of our customs with more people.

Authentic Shipibo-Conibo Embroidered Tapestry Collection 2

Shipibo tapestries, known as kené, are spiritual maps of the cosmos, acting as visual representations of sacred plant medicine visions, icaros, and the universes interconnectedness.  Used for healing, protection, and connecting with the spirit word through intricate geometric patterns symbolizing energies, spirits, and natural elements like rivers, animals, and plants, each complex design holds specific energetic information, acting like musical scores or coded language to facilitate spiritual journeys and repair energetic imbalances.

• Musical Scores (Icaros): Designs translate the vibrational energy and lyrics of sacred healing songs sung by shamans to facilitate healing and spiritual connection.
• Vibrational Energy: Patterns represent the energetic blueprint of plants, illnesses, or people, embodying the spirit of nature and the cosmos.
• Healing & Protection: Woven with intentions of healing, protection, and guidance, they are used in ceremonies to connect participants with the spirit world

How they are used

• Ceremonial Tools: Used in Ayahuasca ceremonies and healing rituals to focus energy and guide participants.
• Spiritual Art: Beyond decoration, they are living art that tells stories, transmits knowledge, and carries the essence of the Amazon.
• Personal Connection: Holding or viewing a tapestry can help individuals connect with the plant medicine world and their own spiritual path.
