Description: I bought this poncho from a Tzotzil man on New Year's eve in 1980, when I traveled to the highlands above San Cristobal de las Casas in a cattle truck to watch the indians burn the cornfields and elect new leaders in puzzling ceremonies - it was very cold at night and I came unprepared. I wore this several times in the 80's then put it away. It is as authentic as they come, and in good condition except for a tiny bit of toning to the wool from age, a little soiling to cotton collar, and one small stain. It measures approx. 38" X 24" each side when worn/folded. I'm not sure if they still wear and weave them the same way - if they don't, it belongs in a textile museum.
