I read the use of the red and black and the strange mythical creatures are typical of the work of the Jalq’a (in Bolivia) community weavers. Jalq’a weaving is still unique in many ways (well that’s what I read) and unfortunately it’s a ‘dying’ art. So this was obviously brought as a souvenir wall hanging. Dating it would be nearly impossible I would think as they are still being produced.</p><p><br /></p><p>However I read that there’s increasingly more machine woven copies on the market.
