Multi-coloured woven "tapiz," or standard style, hanging. Weaving has three loops (green, black and purple) at the top edge and multi-coloured (dark red, orange, blue, green, red and pink) woven flaps along the bottom edge. The main rectangular section is filled with multicoloured images of seven different types devil creatures, four snakes and a lizard. The creatures are on a black background, inside an orange rectangular diamond pattern, with a blue outer border. There is a pink and yellow patterned band along the top and a green and yellow patterned band along the bottom. The back is a mirror image of the weaving on the front.
Candelaria is a small farming village in the high Andes, in the Province of Jaime Zudáñez, municipality of Icla. This textile is somewhat unusual in that it was woven by a Quechua man, whereas weaving is usually done by women in that area.
The devil creatures and snakes are all associated with silver mining in the Peruvian Andes.
