Narrative

Bought from Christianne LeFebve, a Canadian ex-Peace Corps worker living and working in Puno, at her shop La Sirena. Her opinion was that it was made in the early 20th century in Juli, an Aymara lake community (the narrow pattern bands and wide fields are characteristic of Aymara weaving). Approximately 80 years old at the time of purchase?
