Chavin - Ritual Square Baby Alpaca Shawl

The Chavin Ritual Square Shawl is made of 70% Baby Alpaca fiber and 30% silk. This product has been inspired by the colors, shapes and symbols of the Chavin culture. This culture, which flourished almost three thousand years ago, practiced a religion rich in symbolism; the priests transmuted themselves into jaguars and snakes that were associated with the strength of the human world and the world of the ancestors. Images such as this one represent priests performing important propitiatory ceremonies.
