Dance Sling3486/43

A complete dance sling (wichi wichi) with a finger-woven cradle and handles made of solid braids. Red and white yarns are carried in the core of the black braid until needed for the figures, which include lizards and diamonds. Diamonds in shades of pink, orange, blue, red, brown, and green decorate the cradle at the centre of the braided sling against a deep brown and black background. Two pompoms are attached to the band on either side of the cradle. The remainder of the pompoms are connected to the ends of the sling, arranged in a mirrored colour-pattern with dark blue, red, black, chartreuse, forest green, magenta, burgundy, mustard yellow, greenish-blue. The sling is finished in large red tassels on each end.
