Akin to the traditional women's faldas, or skirts, which are woven with patterns of protection, these cloths are considered to be healing cloths. They are used in shamanic healing ceremonies where they are placed upon the patient's body to infuse it with the healing power of the featured icaro or medicine song. Use as a ground or overlay cloth on your altar or mesa or hang as a work of art. Handmade in Peru. 

The design on this cloth is a song of tobacco for wisdom, healing the body, inner strength, stamina, and protection.
