Ceremonial Tunic3289/21

Rectangular shaped tunic made of pounded barkcloth from fig tree bark. Hole cut in centre for head, and reinforced with some orange stitches. The tunic is predominantly covered in jaguar print markings, which are a deeper orange-red on the back. There are small human figures and a bull(?) on the chest, also a circle with five points inside, four in a square and a central point. This design is similar to traditional ceremonial xikules (large circles with a central point). The bottom central line of the tunic is painted with water droplets.
