The designs of these striking sisal tapestry - wall hanging designs reflect themes and icons of the early indigenous culture of the Nicaraguan region of Central America.
The carefully crafted images in the tapestries or tapices, are hand fashioned with dyed sisal ropes sewn side-by-side in intricate, sinuous patterns. These "sisal" or "cabuya" fibers are part of the Central American major products. The designs are created by Luis of Masaya. Shop Sisal Tapestries
The
designs are realized by first nailing a 2-ply sisal rope onto a
template board and as each subsequent, adjacent rope is nailed
alongside, they are then sewn together and the next rope is added to
the previous rope strand and so on until the wall hangings are
complete. When all the ropes are securely nailed and sewn, the
tapestry wall hanging is complete, the nails are then removed and
the hanging loops are added.

There
is at least 40 hours of artisan hand labor in each of the 47"x33"
sized wall hangings. Truly a detailed and laborious process that can
only be done by skilled and patient craftsmen. As the process
is limited by the ropes, the designs are evolved by trial and error.
Hanging loops are sewn on the backs to facilitate hanging.
