Intricate Red Alpaca Tapestry
A Window into Andean Tradition – Handwoven Alpaca Tapestry by Rosalia Putucuni Sinchi
Experience the soul of the Andes with this handwoven alpaca tapestry, an extraordinary piece of textile art created by Rosalia Putucuni Sinchi, a 64-year-old master weaver from the highland village of Huacahuasi, Peru. Measuring 38 inches by 34.8 inches, this intricate tapestry is not just a decorative item—it is a profound expression of cultural identity, ancestral wisdom, and artisan mastery.
Woven from 100% alpaca fiber, this tapestry offers a rare combination of softness, durability, and richness in texture. Alpaca wool, revered for centuries by Andean communities, brings a subtle sheen and warmth that enhances the visual depth of every thread. It is a material chosen not only for its beauty but for its connection to the land and animals that sustain the community.
What makes this piece truly remarkable is its intricate storytelling. Each pattern and symbol woven into the tapestry holds cultural meaning—from depictions of sacred mountains and farming cycles to motifs representing harmony with nature and family lineage. Rosalia has spent decades perfecting her craft, and her expertise shines in the clarity of the patterns and the precision of the weave.
The colors in the tapestry are derived from natural, plant-based dyes, a tradition that honors the environment and adds authenticity to the piece. Using ingredients like cochineal, indigo, and native Andean flora, Rosalia creates vibrant yet earthy tones that reflect the natural beauty of her homeland. The dyeing and weaving process can take weeks to complete, making each tapestry a labor of love and patience.
Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery, this tapestry is a captivating centerpiece—a bridge between worlds that brings ancestral Andean artistry into contemporary life.
