Colorful bands alternate with gray as the Yurivilca Family stylizes this throw with Tarma artistry. The shape of the throw is inspired by the gachakata, a type of shawl used by the women of the Andean highlands to carry their babies on their back. The Yurivilca Family weaves this piece on a four-pedal loom, in the tradition of the Ayacucho region.
