ARTE AMAZONIA
Shipibo Maracas
These maracas are handcrafted deep in the Amazon Jungle of Peru by the Shipibo. They are made from native gourds and the handle is of wood of the chonta tree.
Each one has its
own sound, decorated with traditional designs and is a unique piece of art.
Beautifly etched, the patterns represent the traditional icaro patterns of the Shipibo. Their artisans are well known for their colorful designs on pottery and textiles. Inspired by Ayahuasca-induced visions, myth and folklore, these refined geometrical designs are sophisticated interpretations of cosmic realities.
