Shawl

Acquired by the donor on a field collecting trip in and around Cuzco, Peru, in 1978.

Woven wool shawl. Narrow vertical lines of interspersed colours in dark grey, light brown and medium brown cover the shawl, with two areas near each end of wider lines in black, brown, grey and tan. The silhouette of an alpaca is woven in black into the tan. Ends of shawl have sparse fringe of light tan wool.
