content: Collector's notes: "The tent is always divided into at least two sections, one for the men and one for the women. Colorful dividers separate the sections. These dividers extend beyond the front opening to provide adequate privacy for the women's section. Looms are narrow, so the strips are stitched together to form the dividers"
