A pink rectangular knitted cloth with a multi-colour woven fringe. The field is divided into nine pattern bands outlined with blue stripes. Six bands repeat florets joined by stepped oblique lines. Two bands alternate six part circles with profile standing birds while the central band alternates florets and circles. Blue bands with white squares outline the field.
Knitting is traditionally done by men and boys for a range of caps worn by female children and males of all ages. Recently, the knitters have been producing vests, coin purses, gloves, ties and sweaters for sale to tourists. This rectangular cloth, worn on the back of a Sikuri dancer, is another innovation in knitting. The Sikuri dance is performed on June 24, El Dia de Campesino, during the community fair, July 25 - Aug. 5 and on some Catholic holidays. The Sikuri dancers wear braided wigs, feathered hats and play the pan-pipes while doing very structured, traditional dances.
Plain knitting done circularly on five needles with extra colours carried on the inside for local colour areas. Cut after knitting and edgings sewn on. Fringe band is plain weave.
Male Sikuri dancer.
Made and used in Sikuri dancing by Marcialino Quispe Huatta. One corner of the cloth is folded down and the fold corners are pinned at the shoulder blades to the shirt and vest. Marcialino was very proud of his unusual pano and only decided to sell it after considerable hesitation.
