South America, Peru, Quechua culture, 19th to early 20th century CE. A woven wool poncho composed of two dark brown rectangular panels joined along the center seam, with a vertical slit left open for the head. This traditional Andean garment is ornamented with narrow registers of light brown to beige-toned geometric motifs, in discontinuous warp and weft tapestry technique. The motifs repeat in vertical bands running the length of the textile, adding strong visual contrast against the dark field. The poncho's upper and lower edges are bordered by a series of tight, looped fringes. Now mounted to a modern pale blue cloth-covered wooden frame backing, the poncho is ready for display. Size of textile: 39.5" L x 30.5" W (100.3 cm x 77.5 cm); frame backing: 44" L x 34" W (111.8 cm x 86.4 cm)
Provenance: private Denver, Colorado, USA collection, acquired in the 1960's
