Peruvian Rainforest Art

I bought this piece of cloth at a lodge we stayed at in the Peruvian rainforest. The cabin's were decorated with these pieces of "maze art." I inquired about the pieces and was told that women from a local rainforest tribe drew them by hand. The maze is said to represent the journey we take in life. What I like best is that each side appears to be a mirrored image of the other but if you look closely there is little consistency. The lodge sold me this 12" X 26" piece for $5 USD.
