dark tapestry

A hardworking mom spins yarn on a spindle while carrying her baby in a rebozo on her back. Glowing in the night sky, the crescent moon reveals the late hour. David Laura Zanabria portrays the woman in a handwoven wool tapestry. Raised high-relief borders add definition and texture.

People in boats gaze at the sunset sky as they sail along the Peruvian coast. Seagulls soar overhead, beautifully depicted in a tapestry. David Laura Zanabria creates a superb example of Ayacucho artistry. A display rod can be slipped through a hem at the top.

Titled "Costa peruana" in Spanish.

Artisan David Laura Zanabria of Peru designs this striking and symbolic tapestry. Surrounded by hands and silhouetted faces, an Andean god weeps, longing that the present days be as glorious as the past. The artisan hand-weaves the tapestry from wool using colorful shades on a maroon background.
