History Of Use
A fabric similar in technique, materials and design is termed a 'panel' by Rowe (1977). It is likely this panel is one of four that would have been used to construct a poncho shirt through sewing and addition of bands Rowe, 1977; fig. 47). Yarn analysis shows the fabric is consistent with central coast textiles, Rowe 1980).
