A handwoven Peruvian textile featuring a lively pictorial composition with stylized animals, geometric patterning, and woven lettering including the date 1988 and the initials “RPP.” The piece reflects Andean visual storytelling traditions, where animals and symbols are used to convey ideas of community, labor, and the natural world.

The design is organized in horizontal bands, incorporating bulls, birds, and deer-like figures framed by bold geometric motifs and a restrained, earthy palette accented with pink, red, and soft green. The inclusion of text and date suggests the textile was created for a specific group, event, or organization rather than for the tourist market.

Handwoven from natural fibers, this textile was likely intended as a wall hanging or decorative display piece. It offers strong visual character and works well as folk textile art in both traditional and eclectic interiors.

Date: Dated 1988 (with later repair affecting one numeral)
