Description

A striking handwoven wool tapestry or rug, signed A. Sulca, likely produced in Peru during the mid-20th century. The design features a bold checkerboard arrangement of striped and diamond-patterned squares, surrounded by a wide border of stylised birds and geometric motifs in earthy browns, creams, muted greens, and jewel tones.
The piece reflects traditional Andean weaving heritage, where geometric abstraction and animal symbolism are deeply rooted in pre-Columbian iconography, yet presented here with a distinctly modern folk-art sensibility.
