A long braided rope in three naturally occurring colours of llama fibre. Colours are arranged in a herringbone effect. Knot at each end and a few centimeters of plying. Several frayed areas; one section re-braided with an extra white cord; one section has come unbraided where two cords are broken. Badly frayed in four places.
Ropes are used in a number of daily tasks including weaving. Women lash the loom bars of the horizontal ground loom with ropes to stakes driven in the ground. Llamas are not raised on Taquile so ropes are often traded for between the Taquilenos and their trading partners who herd camelids at higher altitudes.
Bought from Dionysia Marca Quispe, a young married woman, along with her belt loom.
Yarn is spun s, plied 2 z and braided in 2:2 oblique interlacing with 5 strands.
