Description

Applique Quilt wall Mural 20"x20"-Arpillera-3D Hand Embroidered Peruvian Village with 2 llamas, three woman and loads of fruit trees and cactus.
This piece likely dates back to the mid 80's when it was created by the Arpilleras artisans in Peru. It was a time of turmoil in Peru and the social unrest in the city forced many Andean communities to retreat to the outskirts of Lima to be safe and have a better life. When they migrated, they had to start their lives from scratch and learn new skills. The women took up the craft of quilt-making from missionaries and transformed it with their own unique designs featuring scenes from their daily lives. The joyous colors of flowers, produce, and nature embody the Andean people's connection with and celebration of their surroundings.
The mural is dimensional. After the applique is created, the figures are stuffed in a style called trapunto. This piece is very special because it has two large llamas in it. Stored since the mid-90's, this piece is still vibrant and beautiful.
