Peruvian Qero (Q'ero) and Chinchero Shaman Mestana or Mesa cloths are used as a personal altar cloth, to wrap medicine stones, sacred items into, allowing the energy to be focused. These cloths are woven by hand with symbols that represent the families, traditions, cultural and ancestry.

Traditionally used as birthing cloths for the babies, they then help us to birth ourselves along our Spirit path. Qero designs are unique to a family that hand weave these brightly woven pieces with tradition and symbology.

A mestana is ideal for a personal sized sacred cloth for medicine wheel students. Symbology - Outer cloth represents you and your outer world that holds the inner self. Inner cloths, uncunas or wachalas are placed inside to symbolise inner world and how its held by the outer cloth outer world. A mesa tie used out side holds the worlds together in order.
