This one-of-a-kind antique handwoven tapestry or statement piece, with vibrant cochineal dyed reds and magenta colors, is what Salta, Argentina weavings are known for. This style and the colorful stripes of the weaving can be seen in parts of Bolivia and Peru, as the people share the same indigenous bloodlines, heritage and techniques, despite boarders between them. This particular piece is a rare find, with fewer and fewer weaving of this caliber made each year due to a lessening of traditional textile artisans being able to support themselves with their craft. Buying items such as this insures that textile artisans are supported and continue to see the value in remaining in their trade.
