Lima qowi

Lima qowi

Lima qowe represents the Castillian rabbit (Spanish rabbit). In Choquecancha, a community in Cusco, it is woven as a pata pallay, meaning it has two faces and represents two little Castillian rabbits. These rabbits are not typically found in the rural countryside, but rather may be found in fairs in Lares (Proyecto Corredor Puno-Cusco 2005).
