Description

Sculpture of a blanket folded to be used as a cape.
The municipality, and specifically the village of La Esperanza, had various typical garments. The cold and dampness of the high areas led the men to use blankets in the form of a cape. These blankets measure 2.60 by 2.15 metres, and are folded into two parts of different sizes.
