Heart of the Serpent Altar Cloth | Round | 11.5"

This cloth is a powerful symbol of transformation, protection, and the sacred union between instinct and love. At the center, a serpent coils into the shape of a heart, surrounded by flowering vines, celestial forms, and vibrant colors that evoke the living spirit of the jungle.

In Amazonian traditions, the serpent is revered as a guide of renewal and spiritual awakening; a being connected to wisdom, healing, and the cycles of rebirth. Here, its form softens into a heart, symbolizing the balance between strength and compassion, shadow and illumination, earth and spirit. Above the serpent, a radiant face watches over the composition like a cosmic guardian, suggesting ancestral presence, intuition, and the unseen intelligence woven through nature.

Rich embroidery in neon pinks, emerald greens, golds, and deep earth tones glows against the dark background, creating the feeling of a vision emerging from the night forest. The circular form represents wholeness and continuity, while the intertwining floral and serpent imagery reflects the deep interconnectedness of all living things.

Perfect for altars, ceremonial spaces, meditation practices, or sacred home décor, this one-of-a-kind textile carries the intention and artistry of its maker in every stitch. Both protective and heart-opening, it serves as a reminder that transformation begins when courage and love move together as one.

Hand-embroidered in the Peruvian Amazon and sourced through the Aya Madre Healing Center near Iquitos, Peru, in support of traditional Shipibo artistry, sacred healing traditions, and the work of the Pangoza family community.
