Mysterious in black and brightened by a cross of light, a chakana adorns each of these four magnificent coasters. One of the pre-Hispanic astral symbols that presided over the Andean universe, the chakana symbolizes order in family and community life and sustains the teachings of Andean ancestry. Taken from a constellation of stars that forms a quadratic square, Chakana represents the universe united with the center of the world, believed to be Cuzco. Cerapio Vallejo weaves the coasters on a handloom, to celebrate the textile artistry inherited from his Inca ancestors. 90% wool, 10% cotton. Avoid constant exposure to sun. Dry clean only.
