Llijlla Leque n3
Liijlla from Leque, province of Tapacari in Chochabamba.
Textiles from this region are made with a very unique and complex technique, the double warp-faced cloth, which is the true reverisble design that appears alone or in combination with other patterns.
Motifs vary from:
Geometric - jagged diamonds, jagged zizgags or floral diamonds.
Birds - open winged eagles, birds with flowers in the beak.
Mythical animals - four legged animals with human faces, wings or bird faces,vizcachas and dinosaur like animlas, monkeys with wings and horns or unusual fish and insects.
X-Ray- represention of animals with another animal.
The Llijllas are from the Quechua regions of Bolivia, which are located in the central, southern regions and around some areas near the Lake Titicaca. They are rectangular shaped and are worn by women as a shawl pined on the front with a topo (pin), and like the Aguayos, they are also used to carry babies as well as any other goods.
Product Info
This is a vintage piece - this is a real llijlla that belonged to someone for likely decades. We take great care in hand selecting the pieces we choose and while for the most part they are in amazing conditions, these have been loved and used for many many years and therefore aren't perfect 'brandnew' items. We feel this adds to the beauty and uniqueness of these pieces, and we hope you do too.
