Poncho
<p>At least three weavers worked together to create this large textile. Their collaboration can be perceived in subtle vertical junctures in the threads, which appear at points throughout the gridded background. These lines divided their individual working areas. Ponchos were male garments, and this laboriously made example was likely a prestigious offering in the burial of an important man.</p>
