Ronin Medicine Tapestry
Hand-embroidered over many months by Shipibo-Konibo mothers in the Peruvian Amazon, this 150 × 150 cm cloth is a woven prayer. Every precise kené line—officially recognised by Peru as National Cultural Heritage—carries ancestral healing songs (ícaros) in thread, creating a sacred field of balance and protection.
At its center coils Ronin, the cosmic anaconda and guardian of the waters. Her flowing form—rendered here with mirrored bodies to evoke harmony—embodies cleansing currents that wash away doubt and fear. Surrounding kené-icaro patterns map the pathways of her medicine, while star and vine motifs whisper of renewal and clarity.
Ideal as a gift of support, this tapestry is perfect for someone facing a new challenge, in need of comfort, or seeking a reminder of inner strength. Present it to a friend, family member, or loved one as an act of People Honouring People that offers ongoing encouragement and solace.
