Rueda
This is the Spanish word for wheel. Silverman (2008), in her study of Q’ero textiles (a traditional Andean community in Cusco that has retained more of the traditional weaving practices than other areas), argues that this design signifies a field, sonqocha (little heart), or center (Silverman 2008).
