Siguas 1, typical elongated bag in looping using camelid fibers. The decoration of this type of bag is divided into three sections. The upper section has a vertical striping design that is occasionally intercalated by triangular step-designs. The midsection has superimposed bands of an ascending and descending step design in different colors with changes in color at the midsection of the top and bottom step. The bottom section may have small checkered crosses, a simple undulating step design, or no design at all. Private collection.
