AUTHENTIC OLD BOLIVIAN Weaving MANTA PONCHO Textile Cloth Bolivia Andes 12
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:49793741 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Bolivia |
ESTATE FIND, University of Wisconsin textile professor and world traveller. Very nice condition, no holes or stains and only some very minor soil possible. Reportedly purchased in the 1980s.
All wool Andean Indian man's poncho measuring 52 inches long and 47 inches wide, plus the applied fringe which is about 2 inches wide all around.
This is an all wool man's garment, quite nicely woven. It is made from handspun wool, hand-woven on an Andean loom. The bas...e fabric is natural black wool, fairly uniform in color. The two panels are sewn together with a simple zig-zag stitch. The two panels are quite similar, as can be seen in the first photo. The dyes appear to be largely vegetal, since the colors are so mellow. I would guess the date to be ca. 1960-1980. There is an applied fringe about 2 inches wide all around. This fringe is in very good condition. There are no holes noted, but there is modest overall rubbing and light wear since this garment was obviously worn.
Condition is Very Good, light wear, no repairs noticed, light soil possible. I do have this weaving in a sealed bag with a few moth balls, so it will have a slight odor when delivered.
This is an authentic indigenous man's garment, not a modern commercial product, all handmade on a traditional Andean ground loom
