Private Collection Bundle: Threads of Tradition

This bundle celebrates the enduring artistry of Andean weaving and the symbolism embedded in traditional textile practices. Each piece reflects generations of skill, care, and cultural storytelling woven into fiber and metal.

Included is a vintage large handwoven Andean textile, its patterns and colors carrying the heritage of the Andes and the meticulous handwork of skilled weavers which measures 44.5" L  x 36" W. A woven Andean bag adds both functionality and traditional charm, showcasing the same craftsmanship and geometric motifs as the textile. The woven bag measures 18" L x 7.5" W. Accompanying these are two Tupu (or Ttipqui) pins, traditionally used to secure shoulder cloths in Peruvian culture. One features a Chakana symbol at the top, a sacred emblem representing the Andean worldview and cosmic order, while the other showcases a blue glass cabochon with a scenic depiction of boat, people, and alpaca, accented by delicate dangling charms that bring motion and narrative to the piece.

Together, these objects form a curated assemblage of Andean heritage—items that honor textile craftsmanship, ancestral symbols, and the living traditions of community artisans. Offered as part of our Private Collection, Threads of Tradition is ideal for collectors who value cultural artistry, storytelling through craft, and the beauty of objects imbued with history and meaning.
