The spirit of the Shipibo of the Peruvian jungle is magically painted onto this cotton cloth creation with intricate traditional painted designs based on their ayahuasca-inspired medicine songs called icaros. No two patterns are exactly alike and all are hypnotizingly beautiful.

This pattern is said to represent a song for more energy and productivity, energy of the Puma.

Created in the Peruvian Amazon jungle by Shipibo women.

All Shipibo textiles are created by women; embroidery cloths and painted cloths. In the painted cloths, patterns, referred to as kene, and depicting ayahuasca-based cosmology, are applied to natural, undyed cotton cloth or on cotton dyed in mahogany bark. The pattern is applied with a pointed bamboo quill or an iron nail using the juice of Huito (Genipa americana) berries, which produces a blue-brown-black dye. The patterns are visual music maps or scores documenting songs and chants icaros used by shamans during ayahuasca healing ceremonies.
