Delivery EstimateShading delicately from taupe to deep graphite grey, this voluptuous poncho features three rows of chakanas from pre-Hispanic Peru. An astral symbol, the chakana symbolizes order in family and community life; it is taken from a constellation of stars. Isidoro C'cahuantico works in a luxurious blend of alpaca wool, renowned for its lightweight warmth.

"Positively Perfect!"
I love this scarf. It is even better than expected. I have traveled in the Andes and purchased some cherished items. I can now add this to my collection. The blue is a lovely mixture of teal and sky. So soft and just the right length. I am so pleased with this purchase.
