Hand-woven decorative hat belt or headband adorned with or without beads. 

Peruvian beaded hat bands (or Watana ties) are deeply cultural and spiritual items; the specific meaning depends on the symbols, colors, and patterns used, which often relate to nature, ancestral wisdom, and personal intentions like protection, abundance, or transformation. Weaving itself is considered a form of prayer and a connection to the Andean worldview. 

Traditionally, these items are worn by shamans and ceremonial practitioners as a form of protection against negative energies and to enhance their connection to spirits and ancestral wisdom.

 The act of creating and wearing these textiles is often tied to the concept of  sacred reciprocity, a balance between giving and receiving energy in the universe. 

Each band has it's own unique color and design, all truly one-of-a-kind.

The Peruvian Womb Belt is a sacred, handwoven textile used in Peruvian traditions for physical support, spiritual protection, and healing during and after pregnancy.  They can be cultural symbols for luck or special occasions, often worn over skirts, dresses, pants, or robes displaying their vibrant colors and patterns, while supporting the body.  A womb belt can be worn simply wrapped for function or style, securing a shawl or enclosing garments with ends left to dangle or tied in decorative knots. They are known to be a symbol of fertility, strength, and connection to ancestral wisdom.  

In essence, a Peruvian womb belt isn't just clothing; it's a sacred, living artifact, a tangible expression of ancestral knowledge, personal intention, and the deep bond between Andean women and their land.

A note 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.
