Shipibo Manta – Xao Kené – Altar Cloth / Wall Hanging

The Shipibo Manta is an extraordinary work of art that reflects the profound culture and spiritual tradition of the Shipibo-Konibo, an indigenous community from the Amazon region in Peru. This handmade shawl impresses with its intricate geometric patterns that represent ancient designs and ancient knowledge. At the heart of the design is a floral, circular pattern surrounded by interwoven, symmetrical lines and shapes that symbolize cosmic energies and connections. The elaborate embroideries tell of the unity between man, nature and the universe and are often associated with spiritual visions experienced during shamanic ceremonies. The bright colours – a harmonious interplay of red, violet, blue, green and yellow – underline the symbolism of vitality and spiritual protection. The filigree patterns not only have an aesthetic meaning, but are also seen in Shipibo culture as representations of healing, protection and spiritual paths. This cloth is ideal as a wall hanging, altar cloth, meditation aid, or unique home accessory that will add deep spiritual and cultural meaning to your space. Each piece is handmade and unique, making it a special and meaningful collector’s item.
