Peruvian Rattles

The extraordinary hand-embroidered prayer cloths are made by Shipibo artists from the family of shamans that I work with in the Amazon jungle.

Your purchase helps me support these wonderful artists in a very tough time for them. These cloths are lovely in their artistry, but they are also ancient prayer songs embedded in a physical cloth - the same prayers that the shamans sing in ceremony and to people they are healing. The undulating lines and geometric shapes are musical notes and powers. Each cloth emits the vibration of the particular prayer song and it amplifies your own prayers.

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 or healing.
