<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9729443, member: 8267"]Another vote for Peruvian, but cautious about age. The fibers look like wool (nice photo), possibly llama. The designs appear to be applied, not woven in, and may have been made with blocks/stamps rather than painted freehand. (All the figures look virtually identical.) The technique was used in precolumbian times, but it would also be an easier way of making a modern reproduction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
