K’uychi Ceremonial Unkhuña

$ 60.00

The Unkhuña (pronounced oon-koo-nya) is the heart of the Andean Mesa (Altar). This smaller, square cloth is a sacred wrapper for your power stones (Khuyas) and serves as the portable altar base for your offerings.

This K’uychi version features the Rainbow pattern, which in the Andes is not just a beautiful phenomenon, but a protective deity and the cosmic axis that connects the three worlds: the Upper World (Hanan Pacha), the Middle World (Kay Pacha), and the Inner World (Ukhu Pacha). Using this Unkhuña is an invocation of Inca protection and the balance of cosmic forces.
