Women's shoulder shawl (lliklla) composed of two 4-selvedge cloths that are sewn together on a long edge. Each panel has two wide patterned bands seperated by solid bands in shades of red, beige, and grey. The dominant patterns are variations of diamonds and flowers. Vibrant yarn is embroidered onto the surface of the central red and off-white decorative bands replicating the diamond (cocha) and flower (papa tika) motifs in cobalt blue, yellow, mint green, yellow, and hot pink. Plain narrow bands in shades of grey, green, red, off-white, and pink border the top and bottom edges.
Wasa watana (hair tie). Unfinished hair tie (part a) and sample (part b). The hair tie is braided, not woven, but the intersecting bands are inserted into the main band in the same way as woven examples. After insertion, each half of the added band is braided away from the main band. The smaller fragment illustrates an asymmetric insertion of threads for a single band that branches off the main band.
Long woven belt (chumpi) finished on both ends in braids that are fastened together by a plied tie in cobalt blue and red. The design of the belt known as a 'sara' (corn) motif features 3 decorative bands of repeating paired isosceles triangles in green and red with the central band in yellow and black. A solid cobalt blue border appears along the top and bottom edges.
Wide woven belt (chumpi) in synthetic yarn, finished on both ends with braids that are sewn together. The vibrant design features figurative images in green along the length of the belt against a background of horizontal stripes in light pink, white, red, yellow, white, and hot pink, mirrored at the horizontal centreline. The green imagery features a lion, a ship with the word “VARCO” integrated in it, flowers, a locomotive with three train cars, geometric diamond and triangular motifs, and another “VARCO” ship. Thin borders with geometric and ‘s’ shapes appear along the top and bottom edges, worked in green against neon orange, and yellow against purple.
Woven belt (chumpi) in wool, finished on one end with braids that are sewn together and tied with off-white yarn. The belt has a repeating geometric pattern of serrated diamonds in alternating sections of deep brown and clay red against a natural off-white background. A thin border of light brown and deep brown span the top and bottom edges of the belt.
Woven belt (chumpi) in synthetic yarn, finished on one end with braids sewn together. The geometric design is split into rectangles with different figures and motifs in alternating colours of red on black and black on red. The motifs are arranged to show two quadrupeds, a human figure wearing a pointed hat with a tail, a house, a human figure wearing a skirt and brimmed hat, a snake, and two smaller animals. A section of vertical stripes in the same alternating black and red appear at the end finished with braids. The top and bottom edges have a blue border.
Belt (chumpi) that repeats the kutij design in the centre band and the kutij design in the flanking bands; the ends are finished in braids that are fastened together.
Woven belt (chumpi) with a repeating pattern, finished on one end with braids sewn together to form a loop. The main ‘loraypu’ motif features diamonds in red and off-white with hook-shaped decorations. The motif is continued through two horizontal stripes with orange sections replacing the white elements and green sections replacing the red elements. Thin bands of pale yellow, a light greyish-purple, and deep burgundy border the design along the top and bottom edges. The braids on the right end are sectioned together in the same colour groupings that are present throughout the belt.
Wasa watana (hair tie). A braided hair tie made in the combined techniques of oblique interlacing (dark threads) and oblique twining (mainly pink and orange). Each end of the hair tie has 3 tassels made of 3 bands. Most of the added bands intersect by passing through the threads of the main band, however 2 of the 6 tassels have folded bands that are sewn on.
A pair of non-identical wasa watana (hair ties) woven in complementary warp weave, and sewn together. Each has tassels formed by intersecting warps that are woven as separate bands, but each end of each hairtie has a different branching conformation. Both hair ties are edged with small beads, which were threaded on the weft yarn before weaving. Another complete hair tie with intersecting warps is folded and inserted between the non-identical hair ties and sewn in place. Alpaca and sheep’s wool.
