Peacock cushions

The artefact

These cotton and linen cushions decorated with relief motifs, either tone on tone or with different shades, are woven on a traditional manual loom, following the pibiones technique. Inspired by a traditional design, the central motif features a couple of stylised peacocKs facing the Tree of Life, a symbol of good luck.
