Description
Woman’s shawl (lliklla) composed of two panels of 4-selvedge cloth sewn together on a long edge. The pampa (fields) are natural grey and are flanked by bright stripes and pattern bands on both sides of each panel. There is one more pattern band in the centre of each pampa. The designs include geometric shapes and schematic birds.
History Of Use
A lliklla (Quechua) is worn as a shawl. It would be fastened around the shoulders with a pin. Alternatively, it might be used as a cloth for carrying an infant or other types of cargo.
Specific Techniques
Panels were woven on an indigenous loom. The patterns are woven in a complementary warp weave with 3-span floats in alternate alignment (“pebble” weave variant).
