Carpet with "open arms" pattern

Carpet made of two cloths of wool woven and sewn together lengthwise with the decorative motif of "open arms" and zigzag lines. The decorative motif of the "open arms" could derive from a pre-Hispanic iconography depicted on the local pottery representing an owl. This iconography undergoes a progressive geometrization in the pre-conquest local fictile styles and is maintained in the modern era weaving in the form of stylized open wings which also have, in some cases, phytomorphic features.
