Woman's skirt panel in black and red, very fine alpaca yarn. Broad pattern bands. Note reads: 'These skirts are worn with narrow pleats at the back and held in place with a long belt. Note the characteristic joining band where the weaver has turned the loom around to work from the other end. The small repeated pattern is similar to that of the little girl I refer to in my MA thesis.' From Charasani, north of La Paz, Bolivia.
