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 Vest

This shipibo hand-embroidered vest features intricate geometric designs (Kené) that are visual representations of healing songs (icaros) and visions experiences during medicine ceremonies on the back.  The front of the vest includes stitched chacruna vine which holds deep spiritual significance in Amazonian shamanism, primarily as a crucial "plant teacher" in plant brews, acting as the visionary component that unlocks profound spiritual insights, connections to nature, healing, and understanding of the cosmos, embodying the spirit of the jungle and offering guidance for spiritual growth and cleansing

Heart-Shaped Shipibo hand-stitched altar cloth 

Altar 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
