Bolivian woman's mantle (nanaka), alpaca wool, 19th century, 43 x 52 inches. The color balance of this nanaka is atypical. Most nanakas have a color balance of black outer bands and central black inner band with larger areas of a lighter color between them ( though still a dark color). Here the color oder is reversed, the black bands are dominant. This gives the piece a more somber, monumental feel than those with the more typical color balance.
