Eliazar Ochoa is one of half a dozen Peruvian artisans whose page I try to check every month or so for new work; I had a rug and another tapestry by him already. I love depictions of animals. especially when they are animals you dont commonly see depicted as with llamas and rheas, two distinctly South American animals (my other tapestry from him is all condors). And while purple is my favorite color, I do like orange as well, and I saw there was a bit of purple in this. This tapestry currently occupies pride of place, on the door to my office. Which means that at close range, Ive realized the faces of the cats are kind of creepy. But Im not really sure how you could do better on a loom, and I have also seen much worse cat faces! As I look at them more, I think I definitely prefer : | to a badly done : 3 (the most popular simplified cat face), and it makes a lot more sense on a loom as well!
