It fills almost the entire frame, with the top edge slightly cropped and the bottom finished with fringe. Most of the surface is a plain field in creamy off-white, with a tight, slightly irregular handspun wool texture and subtle variations in weave tension. Thin red edging runs along both long sides, and small loose red knots and threads are visible at the top. About the lower third is a densely woven decorative band. This section features horizontal geometric stripes: an upper dark brown band with cream zigzag triangles, a narrow indigo blue stripe on brown, and in the center two large diamond shapes in vivid red filled with a fine cream lattice. Below, the blue stripe and the brown zigzag band repeat. The bottom finish is a broad fringe of long cream tassels, flanked by thick, fluffy tufts of unraveling red wool that hang to each side. Even, frontal lighting highlights the relief of the weave and the strong contrast between the empty field and the burst of color and pattern at the end.","contexto":"This is a Hopi Brocade style dance sash, dated around 1874 to 1885, from the Pueblo cultures of the American Southwest, Post-Contact Late Classic Period. According to records from the Cleveland Museum of Art, where it is housed in the Textiles department as a Gift of Mrs. Lee McBride, the maker is unknown. It was made with plain weave and supplementary weft wrap, using handspun wool, Germantown wool, and bayeta wool. Sashes like this were worn wrapped or hanging during ceremonial dances. No detailed original description of its specific use is documented, but it was likely woven for community use or trade in the Hopi region of Arizona.","como_mirarla":"First follow the long empty cream field downward and see how it directs your gaze. Then pause on the two central red diamonds: their slightly imperfect symmetry reveals hand weaving. Finally look at the fringe and frayed red tufts at the edge, which show wear and the tactile quality of wool.","dato_curioso":"Germantown wool noted in the technique was a commercially produced, brightly dyed yarn from Pennsylvania that became highly valued by Hopi and Navajo weavers in the late 19th century for its softness and vivid colors.","preguntas":["How does the contrast between the large empty field and the intensely decorated end affect your reading of the object?","How does knowing it was made to move with the body in dance change how you see it?","What do the small irregularities in the weave tell you about time and the maker’s hand?"]},"es":{"titulo":"Faja de danza estilo brocado hopi","se_ve":"Faja textil larga y angosta, fotografiada en vertical sobre fondo gris claro, colgada como si flotara. Ocupa casi todo el encuadre, con el extremo superior recortado y el inferior con flecos. La mayor parte de la superficie es un campo liso color crema o marfil, de tejido apretado y textura ligeramente irregular, propia de la lana hilada a mano. Los bordes laterales están rematados con un filete delgado en rojo y los extremos superiores muestran hilos sueltos y nudos pequeños del mismo rojo. Aproximadamente en el tercio inferior aparece una banda decorativa horizontal densamente tejida. Esta sección combina franjas geométricas: una franja superior en marrón oscuro con motivos triangulares en zigzag color crema, luego una franja estrecha azul índigo sobre fondo marrón, y en el centro dos rombos grandes en rojo intenso rellenos con un entramado interno en crema. Debajo se repite la franja azul y la franja marrón con zigzag. El remate inferior es una borla ancha de flecos largos color crema, flanqueada por gruesos mechones de lana roja deshilachada que caen a los lados. La luz es pareja y frontal, resalta el relieve del tejido y el contraste entre el campo vacío y la explosión de color del extremo.","contexto":"Esta pieza es una faja de danza de estilo brocado hopi, fechada hacia 1874–1885, perteneciente a la cultura pueblo del suroeste de Norteamérica, en el periodo Poscontacto Tardío. Según los datos del Cleveland Museum of Art, donde se conserva como parte de la colección de Textiles por donación de la Sra. Lee McBride, su autor es desconocido. La técnica es tejido liso con trama suplementaria envolvente, elaborada con lana hilada a mano, lana Germantown y bayeta. Las fajas como esta se usan enrolladas o colgando durante danzas ceremoniales. No se cuenta con descripción original detallada de su uso específico, pero probablemente fue tejida para uso comunitario o intercambio en la región hopi de Arizona.","como_mirarla":"Primero recorre el largo vacío color crema y nota cómo guía la vista hacia abajo. Luego detente en los dos rombos rojos del centro: su simetría imperfecta revela el trabajo manual. Finalmente observa los flecos y los hilos rojos deshilachados del borde, que muestran el desgaste y la materialidad de la lana.","dato_curioso":"La lana Germantown mencionada en la técnica era una lana comercial de colores vivos producida en Pensilvania y muy apreciada por tejedores navajos y hopis a finales del siglo XIX por su suavidad e intensidad cromática.","preguntas":["¿Qué efecto produce el contraste entre el gran campo vacío y la franja intensamente decorada en un extremo?","¿Cómo cambia tu percepción de la pieza al saber que está hecha para moverse con el cuerpo en una danza?","¿Qué te dicen las pequeñas irregularidades del tejido sobre el tiempo y la mano que la hizo?"]}},"etiquetas":{"en":["textile","weaving","sash","dance","hopi pueblo","american southwest","wool","brocade","geometric pattern","diamond","fringe","19th century","post-contact","native american art"],"es":["textil","tejido","faja","danza","pueblo hopi","suroeste norteamericano","lana","brocado","motivo geométrico","rombo","flecos","siglo xix","poscontacto","artesania indigena"]},"objetos":["faja textil","campo liso crema","borde rojo","franja decorativa con zigzag","dos rombos rojos","franja azul indigo","flecos crema","mechones rojos"],"colores":["#F0EAD6","#B22222","#3A2E2A","#1B3A5F","#EAE6D9"],"animo":["sobrio","ceremonial","cálido","contemplativo"],"epoca":"c. 1874–1885","certeza":"alta","advertencias":[],"capa":{"voces":[{"guia":"la restauradora","en":"As a conservator I pause on what looks simple: a cream field of hand-spun wool with a tight, slightly irregular weave, finished with a thin red edging. At the bottom the supplementary weft wrapping technique bursts forth, where the brown and cream zigzag, the indigo blue and the two large red diamonds reveal mastery of brocade. The cream fringe and the frayed red tassels are not just ornament, they are the very structure that speaks of the period between 1874 and 1885.","es":"Como restauradora me detengo en lo que parece simple: un campo crema de lana hilada a mano con tejido apretado e irregular, rematado con un filete rojo delgado.

The large cream expanse is the void, space on pause before the constellation appears. Below, everything concentrates: the brown zigzag like mountains cut against the horizon, the indigo blue stripe like a band of deep night, and at the center two intense red diamonds that look like twin stars or aligned suns. It makes me think about how Pueblo cultures read the cosmos through geometry, ordering the universe in diamonds, lines and perfect symmetry.","es":"Yo miro esta faja como si fuera un cielo nocturno.
