Calleria, part 3


Shipibo embroidery, some on clothed dyed with bark and clay. Lots of women make these and eventually bring them to Pucallpa for sale to tourist shops. They also make skirts for themselves in these patterns. Experienced artists generate their own designs, we never saw a pattern repeated on another piece. We purchased a bunch in Calleria.

Roger chops coconuts for Elva and the girls.
