Q’ero Paqos Wool Wallet / Money Purse 24x9cm – Bright Colours (Designs Vary)

Q’ero Shamanic Personal Wallet • Andean Woven Money Purse • Prosperity Textile

This Q’ero Paqos Wool Wallet / Money Purse is a handwoven personal textile traditionally used in the Andes for holding money, small artefacts and symbolic personal items.

Among the Q’ero people of the Peruvian High Andes, Paqos are spiritual practitioners — often described as Andean shaman-priests — who maintain living mountain medicine traditions. Textiles form an essential part of these shamanic traditions, serving both practical and ceremonial roles.

These woven wallets are used to carry personal money, sacred items and symbolic objects, blending daily life with spiritual intention.

Brightly coloured and richly patterned, each piece reflects abundance, celebration and good fortune — honouring what is carried and protected within.
