Description:
If you’ve been to Cusco, you’ll remember that Andean clothing is handwoven and adorned with different geometric drawings. Some of these symbols are quite abstract and others portray people or animals. Those drawings, icons, pictograms, motifs, or designs that adorn Andean clothing are known in Quechua as “pallay”. The pallay also expresses the fundamental concepts of Andean philosophy such as ayni (reciprocity) or yanantin (complementarity), among others.
