label: Notes
content: "The blanket was collected in Tulpo from Melanio Aguilar Sanchez. The Corazon design is common to Tulpo where the style originated sometime during the late 1940s or early 1950s. From there is spread throughout the blanket area and is found today as far away as Puyalli in Ancash. The use of multiple colors in the blanket, the slight fading of the green not yet turning gray suggests a date of manufacture during the decade of the 1980s."
