hummingbird decor

Carrying on the tradition of pre-Hispanic textiles, Peru's David Laura Zanabria creates this vibrant tapestry. He works on a traditional loom with wool to hand-weave this tapestry, which features a colorful geometric zigzag motif with hummingbird patterns. For the artist, hummingbirds carry a very powerful spiritual significance. White fringe dangles from the bottom of this tapestry.

The peaceful and charming chamomile landscapes growing around the Andean region transform into golden fields when the evening arrives in this blissful region. This glorious combination of colors creates a unique scene that motivates artisan Eliazar Ochoa from Peru to craft a stunning handloomed home accent. This wool tapestry reunites the grace of spring with the traditional Andean hummingbird motif, creating a sublime piece of art full of culture and warm emotions.

Colorful as spring flowers, these hummingbirds follow a harmonious path in this Andean tapestry by Zosimo Laura of Peru. Showing the best of the region's textile artistry, Zosimo combines wool and cotton yarns in this handloomed artwork, whose vibrant hues rest on a dapper dark brown base color.

The piece is titled Ruta de Colibries in Spanish.

Designed and crafted by Deborcio Choquecahua of Peru, this beautiful alpaca blend tapestry is the artisan's interpretation of the Nazca monkey. The early inhabitants of the Nazca region of southern Peru would use the shape of the monkey's spiral tail to represent the constellation we call Ursa Major. The Nazca monkey's hands are specifically placed to mark the relationship of additional stars to the Ursa Major constellation during the rainy season. The artisan uses colors that transition in an ombre effect from gold to brown for the hummingbird, and uses a similar transition of color in the background from deep brown to near white, giving the illusion that the hummingbird is aglow.
