Peruvian Prayer Cloths
NOTE: I will be out of the country from September 3 through September 25, so any orders won't be shipped until after the 25th.
These extraordinary hand-embroidered prayer cloths are made by Shipibo artists from the family of shamans that I study with in the Amazon jungle of Peru. Your purchase helps me support the women artists in the village who make the works, and also the school where young women are learning the art. (Two of the teachers are pictured.)
These cloths are lovely in their artistry, but they are also prayer songs embedded in a physical cloth - the same prayers that the shamans sing in ceremony and to people they are healing. Each cloth emits the vibration of the particular prayer song, and they radiate the power of the images shown on the colith.
These one-of-a-kind art works are suitable for framing or hanging. You can use them for decoration on a flat surface and they make great altar cloths. You can also place them on your body for meditation, healing, or to amplify your own prayers.
Sometimes I also have a few new rattles for sale. Click here to see them.
