Kené
Traditional geometric designs from Peru / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term kené, or kene, refers to the traditional designs painted by women and men on ceramics, textiles, wooden surfaces, and bodies of the Shipibo-Conibo people from the central Amazon of Peru.[1] Kené designs are composed of geometric patterns that express the Shipibo worldview and spirituality, which tends to seek beauty and balance of the self in relation to the natural environment.[2] When the design is embroidered on a textile, it is called kewé.[3] On April 16, 2008, they were declared part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation in Peru.[4]
