Sanancha Pink Blanket Small Peruvian mesamanta

Product detailed description

CEREMONIAL MESA BLANKET – SANANCHA

This sacred cloth is handmade by Q'ero women from Peru. It is crafted for us by the family of the shaman "Juan Huarhua Pillco" from the Quero tribe of Cusco. In this region, secret initiates have managed to preserve the oldest core of Andean mystical practices.

This woven fabric is the perfect base for all types of personal altars (Mes). The sacred altar cloth, called "manta" or "mesamanta" in Peru, is made from alpaca and natural fibers. It is dyed exclusively with natural and plant-based dyes and pigments.

The blanket naturally reflects much of the symbolism of Andean cosmology. They are embroidered with geometric patterns and traditional symbols such as coca leaves, potato flowers, spiders, snakes, condors, hummingbirds, or sacred mountains, lakes, and stars.

These symbols are magical and have been passed down from generation to generation among all native Andean peoples. In addition to their energetic function, the blankets are also aesthetically pleasing and luxurious due to their natural color tones and the highest-quality handwoven material. The overall impression is further enhanced by the neat seams along the edges of the fabric.

The main functions of the shamanic blanket include:

- A base layer for the “mesa” (shamanic altar)
- A foundation for shamanic tools and symbolic magical objects
- A mat for traditional coca leaf divination
- A base for preparing harmonizing substances (ayahuasca, wachuma, etc.)

Shamanicblanket can be used both horizontally and vertically, with either the front or back side facing up.

By purchasing this product, you support the preservation of the original handicraft traditions of the Quero ethnic group from Cusco. By offering products of this type, we aim to ensure an ethical, fair, ecological, and sustainable approach to the rare ancient art of the indigenous peoples of Peru.

Recommended care: Wash natural shamanic cloths preferably by hand or on a cold wash cycle using an eco-friendly detergent.
