These blanket dresses or mantas were worn either as dresses or as capes over dresses. Most of the literature refers to this style of clothing as a manta, which is the Spanish word for blanket.

This manta-dress has a diagonal twill weave, with hills and vales. The warp and weft are native handspun wool. The textile was woven of native wool that appears to be black and brown wool carded together. The textile is in excellent condition.
