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.

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.

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.

Coca leaf bag (chuspa) with two small pockets woven into one face, a woven carrying strap, and decorative pompoms. Diamond-shaped motifs in off-white against a red background cover the front of the bag, continuing into the vertical bands at the centre in burgundy, vibrant orange, and green. The patterning on the bands is continued along the two pockets on the front that are finished with yellow edging and bundles of small pompoms on thread-wrapped stems attached to the bottom. Larger versions of the pompoms are attached on the bottom corners and at the centre of the bottom of the bag. The back of the bag is covered in horizontal and vertical stripes in red, burgundy, orange, green, and yellow, separated by thin off-white stripes, with a horizontal band across the top with a vine motif. The woven edging (ribetes) on the side seams of the bag features a diamond motif in green and off-white against an orange background. The carrying strap has a zigzag and dot motif in off-white against a green, orange, and burgundy.

Coca leaf bag (chuspa) that has a single pocket woven into one face, a carrying strap made of two braids, woven tubular edgings (ribetes) covering seams and edges, short tassels along the lower edges, and bud-like tassels on braids along the lower edges. Main design panel has a condor, human, and quadruped, while flanking panels have X-shaped motifs.

Coca leaf bag (chuspa) that has a carrying strap made of two braids, tubular edgings (ribetes) covering seams and edges, and short tassels along the lower edge. Two design panels on each face have geometric figures and birds.

Small coca leaf bag with a small pocket on one side and short, added fringe at the bottom; edges are embroidered. Decorated with narrow bands with diamond and diagonal motifs.

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.
