I just reduced the price on this lovely poncho as I really want to sell it - it has been very difficult to photograph this it as the colors are so vibrant and I've had to take the photos over and over to get the colors right!  This is a beautifully embroidered poncho which my sister brought me when I was 14 (1964) when she went to Ecuador with her new husband.  I wore it a few times in the 60s (of course) but then it's been stored in a cedar chest for all these years.  We are downsizing, moving and selling whatever I find in the closets, etc.  I loved this poncho - it's a small size - maybe for a child?  or a young adult - a small adult definitely.   The wool is in pristine condition - I cannot find any moth holes or snags or other detractive issues with this poncho - there are a few "loose" threads on a couple flowers but I don't know if they were just loose ends - they don't appear to be the result of damage at all.   Someone told me it is probably Llama wool?  I have no idea, but it is in impeccable condition with colors as bright as they were in the 60s.  It really is beautiful.  I was a size 12 back then (oh I wish I were now!) and always thought it a bit snug.  So maybe it would transfer now as a size 8 or somewhere around there.  There are no tags on it anywhere.  I have take photos front and back and showed inside the neck as best I could.  The round image is the inside of the poncho - still in pristine condition.  You won't find another like this - someone is selling a very similar poncho right now on ebay - it's orange with just white embroidery - same type flowers - same type poncho - it has flaws and moth holes and is faded - and they are asking 0!!!  No way - this one is far more beautiful and in perfect condition for far less.  Will ship out the day after receiving payment (unless it's Sunday)  Thanks for looking.  USPS Ground Select or Priority - you choose.
