| Commentaires : | Silvia was making a kili chumpi or heavy belt for her pregnant sister Eufrasia. She stopped working on it when the baby was born dead. She makes belts for herself and for both her younger sisters, because according to Silvia, they do not know how to make their own. |
| Fonctions : | Warp-faced fabric with three or four selvedges are woven by women but the fabrics are used by both sexes. The techniques, structures and some of the motifs have pre-Conquest antecedents. This type of textile conveys the most information about an individual's ethnicity, sex, age, status and particular history. Firm belts of this type are worn by women particularly during pregnacy and for 2 to 7 months afterwards. During pregnancy, they are bound tightly to keep the baby's head from growing too large and making the birth difficult. After birth, the heavy belt supports weakened muscles. |
