A dance sling (wichi wichi) consisting of a main braid and two secondary braids with tassels; all are solid braids. The pattern of black and white diagonal lines on the main cord occasionally reverses direction. A solid braid with a four-colour pattern in off-white, beige, brown, and black is added to one end. The secondary braids have different patterns, one of which is called “amapolas”, which is the name of a poppy that grows on the banks of rivers (white, grey and brown). Smaller coloured tassels in yellow, royal blue, pink, red, orange, and forest green decorate the secondary braids, followed by a large off-white tassel that branches into more small colourful tassels.

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 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.
