Description

Peruvian Appliqué Wall Hanging – Village Market Scene, Handcrafted

This vibrant handmade Peruvian textile wall hanging captures the essence of Andean village life through exquisite appliqué and three-dimensional fabric work. Dozens of meticulously stitched figures populate a colorful open-air market, surrounded by fruits, vegetables, woven textiles, and pack animals under red-roofed houses and snow-capped mountains. The dynamic composition and saturated palette reflect the Ayacucho tradition of storytelling through fabric — a hallmark of Peruvian folk art where everyday scenes become vibrant cultural narratives.

Each figure and element is crafted from hand-dyed cotton and felt, layered to create texture and depth. These textiles celebrate community, craftsmanship, and the agricultural abundance of the Andes. Ideal for collectors of Latin American folk art or those seeking a statement piece rich with cultural meaning and artistry.


Condition:

Good condition overall. No remarkable damage. Stitching remains tight and in great shape. Light creasing from storage, typical of handsewn textile art.


Dimensions:

Overall: 33 1/2" x 38" x 1 3/16"
