# Chinchero Shaman Mestana Mesa Cloth (M53-C) - Sacred Andean Textile

## Chinchero Shaman Mestana Mesa Cloth – Sacred Andean Textile - Purples & Greens

Fresh off the hand loom and never used in ceremony, this beautifully finished Mestana Mesa cloth has been specially woven for us by Andean artisans. Soft, strong, and alive with traditional symbolism, it carries the spirit of the high Andes in every thread.

A mesa or mestana is a sacred cloth used in prayers, blessings, and healing rituals to hold power objects and medicine stones. Mesa refers to the plains, while mestana reflects the high plains of the Andes — the meeting place of sky, earth, and spirit.

Woven in the traditions of the Q’ero and Chinchero communities, these cloths form personal altar spaces and medicine bundles, symbolising the relationship between the inner and outer worlds.

**Please Note:** The latest batch shows some natural variation in colour and finish. These cloths display richer purple tones than some previous versions and include a distinctive black edge border on one side. Earlier examples were often produced without this black edging. As each textile is handmade, colours and shades may vary slightly, and appearance can differ depending on lighting conditions and screen settings.
