Provincial Pukara, "Maize Staff Goddess" holding in each hand a maize plant with cobs that sprouts from a front-face feline head, dated cal. AD 74 to 237 (SH 127-331). Weft and double-strand warp in camelid fibers. The similarity of the design and even the coloring between the bag's upper portion and that of the Siguas 1 bag appearing in Figures 6.38 to 6.39 are surprising. Private collection.
