Hand-woven bookmark

The fiber, hand-woven  bookmark  purchased from  an indigenous weaver in the street market of Otavalo, Ecuador.Sent by Hope (Esperanza) :) Thank you, I really like it :)

I'm not sure, but I guess it's Otavaleña woman on this bookmark, cause Otavaleña women traditionally wear distinctive white embroidered blouses, with flared lace sleeves, and black or dark over skirts, with cream or white under skirts. Long hair is tied back with a 3cm band of woven multi coloured material, often matching the band which is wound several times round their waists. They usually have many strings of gold beads around their necks, and matching tightly wound long strings of coral beads around each wrist. Men wear white trousers, and dark blue ponchos.:)
