Hearst Museum object titled Tunic, accession number 9-21167, described as (9-21167 = D1). Child’s tunic. Consists of virtually identical front and back, and 2 identical sleeves. Front and back have 23.5cm W band across lower part of shirt. Band has stripes of red, blue, blue warp ikat, blue with white warp floats, and blue with white supplementary weft patterns, all bordering white band with red supplementary weft patterns. Near end of these supp. weft patterns are 2 wrapped warp(?) lines, one red, one blue; beyond patterns, this white band is undecorated. Top parts of front and back are blue with narrow bands of red, blue, and white patterns. Outer shoulder edges of front and back are sewn together with decorative red and white stitching, including red and white “lumps” of thread. Underarm area of sleeves, and of front and back, not sewn to each other, resulting in open underarms and, probably, greater comfort and ease of mobility. Lower sides of front and back stitched together with a different decorative red and white stitich, also with “lumps” of thread. Top of sleeves, underarms of front and back, and sides of front and back, have one to several ~13cm L (except one, which was cut) red and white hanging threads with spaced red or red and white thread tassles, or white balls of pressed material. Sleeves appear to be rectangles sewn together in such a way as to create slight tapering from shoulders to wrists. Patterns on sleeves very similar to those on front and back, but lacking in textured patterns (i.e., no supplementary weft, warp floats, or wrapped warps). Neckline to waist = 42cm. Side to side = 33cm. Sleeves = 41-42cm L.

Top parts of front and back are blue with narrow bands of red, yellow, blue, and white patterns. Outer edges of neckline sewn together with decorative red, or red and white, stitching. Sleeves, and front and back, sewn together at upper armholes with decorative red and white stitching. Lower part of armholes not sewn together, leaving underarms open and providing, presumably, greater comfort and ease of mobility. At shoulder sides of sleeves, there is ~7-8cm decorative red and white stitching on top of sleeves. On one sleeve only, this stitching ends in white thread sewing 5 red beads to sleeve. Below armholes, front and back sewn together with fine red and white thread and decorative stitching. Each sleeve casually sewn together with blue thread. Patterns on sleeves very similar to front and back patterns, but lack textured patterns (i.e., no supplementary weft, warp floats, or wrapped warps.) Neckline to waist: 33cm. Side to side: 34cm. Sleeves: 37-38cm.
