Poncho

A gift from the delegation of Argentinean doctors who visited Stalingrad in June 1953. A peculiar coat made of two pieces of hand-made wool fabric sewed together with a head hole left. The neckline is decorated with embroidery in the centre of the front part as well as in the back. On the right and on the left the poncho is covered with decorative vertical brown stripes. The sides and the flaps have a fringe trim. The traditional outer garment of Aymara men, Mapuche and Quechua people, etc. is now worn by farmers and craftsmen of Latin America.
