Fifteen long tapering braids of black hairs twined together with a black cord at the thicker ends of the braids. Three cords extend from the twining and are joined together. Near the top is blue synthetic yarn twining the braids together. The tapered ends of the braids are unfastened.
The male Sikuri dancer wears the braids under a knitted cap and feathered hat falling down the centre of his back. Taquileno men used to wear their own hair long and braided within this century. The Sikuri dance is done by males who play pan-pipes and females who wear wigs of coloured bands. It is performed on June 24, El Dia de Campesino, during the community fair (July 25 - Aug. 5) and on some Catholic holidays.
Hair is braided in 3-strand oblique interlacing.
Bought from Candelaria Cruz Machaca who made it within the year from her now deceased husband Augustin Quispe Mamani. Augustin had not worn it when he died in March, 1984. Candelaria and her daughter, Pelagia, both had their hair cut in 1983-84 for use in dance wigs.
