    Description

    Charming vintage Peruvian Arpillera.  It is  entirely hand sewn, and absolutely unique.  Depicts a traditional village MARKET in Peru; complete with a llama!
    Estate find; I have owned it for almost 20 years; I am guessing it is from the 1970s  -80s based on colors and types of fabric utilized.
    It is about 20" square, and weighs just under 5 OZ.
    Check back often as I am down-sizing my collection of vintage, ethnic textiles and collectibles.  Additional treasures will be listed over the next few weeks.
