Description

Detail of the amazingly intricate embroidered banners (or gonfalones) carried by bortherhoods during the Corpus Christi festival processions in Cusco, Peru. Much of the work is done by hand using gold and silver threads. Corpus Christi (The Body of Christ) is one of the most important dates in the Catholic calendar; the celebrations in Cusco are among the largest and most colourful in Latin America.
