Chinchero Shaman Mestana Mesa Black Cloth (M50-C) – Sacred Andean Textile

Chinchero Shaman Mestana Mesa Black Cloth – Sacred Andean Textile

Fresh off the hand loom and never used in ceremony, this beautifully finished black Mestana Mesa cloth has been specially woven for us by Andean artisans. Soft yet strong, it carries deep traditional symbolism in a striking and grounding colour palette.

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

Woven in the lineage of the Q’ero and Chinchero communities, these cloths serve as personal altar spaces, medicine bundles, and symbolic maps of the inner and outer worlds.
