Notes: Made by the backstrap method, probably by Dulcelina Suárez but possibly by Lilia, the granddaughter of Dona Lucrecia (see Mowat no. 3). It is made in the commercial cotton known as pita: this is a thinner size than that used on Mowat no. 1. The tension i, s a bit uneven, and you can see where a mistake she has made has been duplicated at both ends of the textile.
