A stylized tumi axe is depicted in this area rug from Peru. The tumi was a ceremonial blade characteristic of ancient cultures such as the Moche, Chimu, and Inca. A typical tumi axe features a curved blade at one end, its handle often adorned with a small sculpture that depicts a legendary or historical figure. The composition on this rug is realized in a variety of colors against a body of black. Andean artisan David Laura Zanabria designs the rug, weaving it by hand from wool on an artisanal loom.

This tapestry is absolutely exquisite! The colors are bright and eye-catching - almost like those neon fish that dwell in the deepest parts of the ocean -- and the quality is top-notch -- the yarn is woven closely together, so it looks like a smooth and uninterrupted scene -- and the wool itself is thick, supple and substantial. I love this fishy fantasy, straight from the creative mind of David Laura Zanabria. It will add so much warmth and personality to our living area! Thank you too, for the lovely gift wrapping, complete with a lovely handmade worry doll, and for the wonderful postcard and thank you note. Thank YOU!
