Descrizione:
Head and nine fringes in brown natural cotton warp-faced canvas with bouclé stitch embroidery. The embroidery design, perhaps an anthropomorphic head or trophy head, was made in chain stitch with camelid fiber colored in cream, yellow, red, dark and light brown, blue/green. A yellow camelid fiber yarn is anchored to the head, simulating hair or sun rays. Between the face and the hair there is a border decorated with a wave motif. The fringes are decorated with yellow and brown cruciform motifs on a red background.
