Anotations

Scope note:

Distinctive long cloaks that were usually made with guanaco skins. For the men's garment, the cloak had no closure devices, but was held closed with a hand. For the woman's garment, the cloak was often secured with two guanaco ribs at the shoulder. Prime examples are those of the Selk'nam culture of southern Chile.
