A fragmentary dance sling (wichi wichi) that has a solid braid and a flat, finger-woven band as handles on either side of the vestigial cradle. The cradle is too small to be functional for hurling stones. Several different patterns alternate on the solid braid, one of which may be a bi-colour variant of “amapolas”, the name of a poppy that grows on the banks of rivers. The sling has large tassels grouped at the end of the solid braid and small tassels on the cradle and finger-woven band.
