Small coca leaf bag (chuspa) with braided commercial tape sewn to seams and edges. Three panels of diamond designs are on each face. Some decorative stitching is added near each corner.
A complete sling (wichi wichi). It has a small vestigial cradle that is finger-woven. Varied shades of pink, red, yellow, black, purple, and grey yarn tassels outline the cradle. The larger handle has diamond patterns in alternating black and light brown, and grey and brown along its length. The final section has a series of tassels in pink, green, mustard yellow, purple, and light beige with a finger loop hidden between the second and third tassels. A large red tassel is near the end and has 4 simpler braids, each with a final tassel in pink, mustard yellow, black, and green. There is a secondary braid that branches off, just above the large red tassel, and it has five colourful tassels in purple, mustard yellow, pink, green, and light beige. The second handle that comes off the cradle is thinner. It is wrapped with natural colours of camelid yarns, but has no pattern beyond horizontal colour changes.
An unfinished sling. The solid braid is composed of 16 dark strands of dark (8) and light (8) handspun camelid yarn. The threads are paired and cross the crown to the opposite quadrant in a directional order that produces diamonds, a pattern that is called “llama nawi” (llama eyes) in some communities. The cradle is not started on this sample.
Complete sling (waraqa) in camelid wool. The central cradle is finger-woven in brown and dark brown, with a small slit in the centre. The two handles are braided in off-white, brown, and dark brown to form a repeating diamond motif, finished in a fringe on both ends. A piece of red yarn is tied around one end of the handle.
A secondary braid from a dance sling (wichi wichi). One end of the sling has a small loop with alternating black and white stitching, leading into the main red braid with black and white geometric and concentric diamond motifs which branches off into five braids decorated with pompoms on the end. The pompoms have varying tones and textures from the different styles of yarn used including sectionns in yellow, dark brown, red, blue, off-white, green, orange, grey, and purple. One of the branching braids is missing a pompom.
An unfinished sling (waraqa). The solid braid is composed of 16 strands of dark (8) and light (8) handspun camelid yarn. The threads are paired and cross the crown to the opposite quadrant in a directional order that produces diamonds, a pattern that is called “llama nawi” (llama eyes) in some communities. Near the starting end, the braid splits into two to make a thumb hold and then rejoins to make the larger solid braid. The cradle section was not started on this sample.
