Shawl composed of off-white wool with a widely spaced black check with a band of woven multicoloured stripes near each end. Finished with a row of multicoloured crocheted circles and bands with an off-white fringe at each end.
Bayeta is made by males on the treadle loom and is used for garments that are cut to size and sewn, such as trousers, shirts, skirts and vests. The style, the construction and and the loom used are non-indigenous and derive from Spanish peasant tradition. Handspun sheep's wool is the traditional material, but synthetic yarns are now used. The shawl has been added to the men's costume since 1925. It can be worn folded in 4 and hanging over one shoulder; or worn folded across both shoulders so that both ends drape down the back; or folded and wound around the waist instead of or on top of the belt and underbelt.
Everyday; men.
Made by Francisco Yucra Cruz in about 1972 from yarn his wife spun. Bought by his son, Gonzalo Yucra Huatta, in about 1977 because it was a particularly nice shawl. Sold by Gonzalo to the Museum.
The white and blue yarns are z twist sheep's wool yarns. The colours are commercial, synthetic yarns, z spun and s plied. The fabric is a weft predominant 2/2 twill and the crochet additions are single and double stitches.
