Within each block are one of two designs (one with three figures and the other a S-shaped figure). The bottom edge of the poncho is finely bound in shades of brown with a zigzag stitch right above. The edges along the side of the poncho are also finely bound in shades of brown. The neck aperture is still apparent. Color(s): Black poncho with tapestry woven band running selvage to selvage across the width of the poncho with figures in a repetitive pattern (in red, yellow, white and brown). Edge binding in several shades of brown. .
