Assorted & Traditional Kené Pattern Shipibo Handmade Embroidery

“Kené art is the design of lines, systems, and geometric patterns made by indigenous women of the Shipibo-Conibo etnia from the Ucayali region in Peru.  The Kené have a deep symbolic significance as they represent the worldview of indigenous peoples, energy pathways, the Milky Way, the geography of the forest, the wildlife, and others. Kené are the healing visions of indigenous peoples when they consume mother plants for therapeutic purposes. The Kenés are sung when the women go across the lines with the finger over the Shipibo fabrics expressing the emotions that they reflect.”
