Four Quarter Tawantinsuyu Unkuña Wachala • Mesa Inner Cloth • Four Inca Realms
This Four Quarter Tawantinsuyu Alpaca Inner Cloth (QDP-FQ2) — also known as a Tawantinsuyu Unkuña or Wachala — is a sacred Andean inner textile representing the four quarters of the Inca world.
“Tawantinsuyu” translates to “The Four Regions Together” — the name of the Inca Empire, symbolising unity, balance and harmony across the four directions and realms of existence.
Traditionally crafted by the Q'ero medicine people — descendants of the Inca and keepers of ancient Andean wisdom — this handwoven alpaca cloth is used within mesa medicine bundles for ceremony, soul retrieval and energetic restoration.
Placed inside a larger outer mesa cloth (Mestana), the inner cloth represents the inner world of the practitioner — personal intention, hidden consciousness and spiritual transformation — while the outer cloth represents the outer world.

Tawantinsuyu – The Four Quarters
The design reflects the four regions of the Inca Empire:
- Chinchaysuyu (North)
- Antisuyu (East)
- Collasuyu (South)
- Cuntisuyu (West)
Together, they form a unified sacred whole — mirroring balance between:
- Inner and outer worlds
- Spiritual and physical realms
- Individual and community
- Earth (Pachamama) and Sun (Inti)
The four chambers are often associated with soul retrieval, divination work and energetic organisation, representing the gathering and reintegration of fragmented aspects of the self.
Bright woven bands along two edges provide directional orientation during ceremony.
