This vintage Bolivian Aguayo textile is a beautiful example of traditional Andean weaving, featuring a minimalist yet culturally rich design. Handwoven from natural wool, the textile displays a deep brown-black field accented by three horizontal bands of intricate geometric motifs in cream, black, and red. These bands are framed by narrow stripes in vibrant red, magenta, and subtle hints of green, showcasing the characteristic palette of indigenous Bolivian textiles. Often used by Aymara and Quechua women to carry goods or children, Aguayos embody both functional utility and cultural identity. This piece stands out as a decorative wall hanging or a rustic accent in eclectic interiors.
