This immense cotton ikat ceremonial mantle, acquired in the 1960s during fieldwork by anthropologist Wilhelmina Shumacker PhD, boasts a relatively thick and uniform weave. Notably, it features two 3-inch end fringes that aren't visible in website images. The motifs depicted—horses and chickens—symbolize strength, wealth, and animals of sacrifice. It remains in very good condition, displaying only very minor imperfections. Its dimensions measure 120 inches in length, excluding the 3-inch fringe, and 75 inches in width, or about 305 centimeters by 190 centimeters.
