Dagger (part a) and sheath (part b). The dagger has a steel blade and a horn handle. The sheath has an embroidered geometric design and a braided edge with a strap and buckle attached.

A pair of protective sleeves (mangas, maquitas) knitted in sheep’s wool and dyed with aniline dyes. The geometric design features a black and red border at the top, followed by a twice repeating pattern of horizontal multicoloured bands, a row of wave motifs, and a black and white band with bird and fox designs, separated by an additional row of waves across the horizontal centre. The multicoloured bands have rows of purple with orange, red with green, dark red and yellow, greenish-brown with magenta, and royal blue with red. The waves are worked in in orange against purple, greenish-brown against dark red, and magenta against green. The sleeves taper to an orange, purple, black, and dark red border at the wrist end.

Wasa watana (hair tie). A hair tie that is made in a mixture of techniques: oblique interlaced bands with zigzag embroidery for the main band and woven bands made in complementary warp weave that intersect with the main band. Each end has two intersecting bands, and two of those also have intersecting bands. Each end has three tassels made of three bands. Most of the secondary intersecting bands are braided. Combination of techniques used: braiding, weaving and embroidery.

Wasa watana (hair tie) woven in a complementary warp weave. Tassels formed by adding intersecting warps that are woven as separate bands. Warp fringes. Each end has one intersecting warp band, which makes a tassel with three woven bands. Alpaca and sheep’s wool, finely spun.

Wasa watana (hair tie) woven in a complementary warp weave. Tassels formed by intersecting warps that are woven as separate bands. The added bands also have intersecting warps that are woven, but the two ends do not have identical numbers of bands. Warp fringes. Alpaca and sheep’s wool fibre. Spinning is fine and hard twist.

Wasa watana (hair tie) woven in a complementary warp weave. Tassels formed by intersecting warps that are woven as separate bands. Warp fringes. Alpaca and sheep’s wool, very finely spun. Each end has 4 intersecting warp bands.

Wasa watana (hair tie) woven in a complementary warp weave. Tassels formed by groups of intersecting warps that are woven as separate bands but are then folded and sewn to the main band near the ends. Tassels sewn onto the main band. Edging of small white beads on the edges of the main band and the tassels; the beads were threaded on the weft before weaving. Warp fringes. Alpaca fibre, finely spun, with wool.

A fragmentary dance sling (wichi wichi) that has a solid braid and a flat, finger-woven band as handles on either side of the vestigial cradle. Geometric patterns in shades of light and dark brown appear along the large braid including a bi-colour variant of the “amapolas” motif named after a poppy that grows on the banks of rivers. The large braid ends features three smaller tassels in orange, dark dusty pink, and olive green, followed by a larger hot pink tassel, branching into three wrapped braids finished tassels in dark burgundy, orange, and olive green. The yarn in the large braid is continued into the cradle, forming a triangular motif with a split at the centre. Small tassels in pink, orange, and green decorate the along the top and bottom edge separated from each other in even increments. A medium sized pink tassel is attached to the transition between the cradle and the flat braid, and one final dark dusty pink tassel is attached the flat braid at the half-way point.

A dance sling (wichi wichi) that has a solid braid and a flat braid as handles on either side of a vestigial cradle. The thick braid features a diamond pattern in shades of brown, grey, and black called “amapolas”, the name for a poppy that grows on the banks of rivers. The main tassel end features three smaller tassels in yellow, red, and forest green, followed by a larger dark red tassel, branching into four flat braids finished with smaller tassels in dark burgundy, grey, orange, and yellow. Attached to the opposite end of the thick braid is the cradle with a triangular motif, and 8 small tassels in pink, grey, and orange along the top and bottom edge separated from each other in even increments. The flat braid attached to the other end of the cradle, finished with a small multicoloured tassel.

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.
