Handloomed Geometric Wool Tapestry in Warm Hues Made in Peru, "Collection of the Inca"

Peruvian master artisan Eliazar Ochoa depicts the ancient Inca worldview through a handloom wool tapestry honoring the customs and science of the empire. Geometric figures and warm hues form this sublime artwork, representing the Inca's calendar with diverse patterns. Said calendar, similar to the modern one, consisted of twelve months of 30 days arranged in three long weeks, all based on the movement of the sun and moon, which also allowed them to plan their religious ceremonies and duties.
