Awaq Necklace. A ceremonial brass pendant carrying the weaver, from the stone of Chavín de Huántar.
In the Quechua of Áncash, Awaq is the weaver. The one who brings threads together, who makes form from what moves.
The pendant shows two serpents braiding toward the Chakana, the stepped cross that crowns their ascent. Life and energies woven together. Worn close to the heart, Awaq becomes a quiet reminder of what you are weaving in this season.
Each piece is drawn in Peru, in consultation with teachers in Áncash, and handcrafted in Bali by metalsmiths who shape each piece in wax before casting in brass. 5% of every sale returns to Yarpakuti Chawpin, the organisation in Áncash that keeps this tradition alive.
Each piece arrives in a KANTU pouch, with a story card and a care card.
Materials: solid brass. Chain length approximately 45 cm.
Adornment as Remembrance.
