Chamanto (original) (raw)
A chamanto (Mapudungun chamall, woolen fabric) is a traditional decorative garment from central Chile, similar to a poncho and woven in silk thread and wool. Its entire contour is finished with ribbon edging. Traditionally, Chilean festive ponchos incorporate colors such as grey, brown, red, black, and white. The difference between a chamanto and other ponchos is their reversibility, as both sides — one light, one dark — are fully finished. Traditionally, the dark side of the poncho is used during the day, while its light side is mostly worn at night.

| dbo:abstract | A chamanto (Mapudungun chamall, woolen fabric) is a traditional decorative garment from central Chile, similar to a poncho and woven in silk thread and wool. Its entire contour is finished with ribbon edging. Traditionally, Chilean festive ponchos incorporate colors such as grey, brown, red, black, and white. The difference between a chamanto and other ponchos is their reversibility, as both sides — one light, one dark — are fully finished. Traditionally, the dark side of the poncho is used during the day, while its light side is mostly worn at night. The chamantos gained world attention when they were worn by the 21 leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation during the 2004 summit's official photo. The making of a chamanto demands great diligence, because of the exquisiteness involved in the weaving of the silk and wool, plus the intricacy of the design sketched by crossing the threads. The figures embellishing the chamantos include copihues, Chile's national flower, barley and wheat ears, blackberries, bunches of grape, fuchsias, pansies and various birds representative of the national fauna. (en) Un chamanto es un poncho o manta ornamental tradicional de la zona central de Chile, tejida con hilo de seda y lana a doble faz (una clara y otra oscura) que lleva en todo su contorno una huincha. Se considera una prenda tradicional del huaso patrón, personaje que simboliza la "chilenidad", y como tal se usa en rodeos, presentaciones folclóricas y otras ocasiones especiales. Demandan gran acuciosidad, debido a la finura del hilado de seda y lana, sumado a la complejidad de las ilustraciones que se dibujan en el cruce de los hilos. Lo que diferencia a esta prenda del resto de las mantas es su reversibilidad, pues sus dos caras están terminadas. Tradicionalmente, el lado oscuro de esta prenda se usa de día; mientras que el claro, de noche. Entre las figuras que engalanan al chamanto están los copihues, espigas de cebada y trigo, zarzamoras, racimos de uva, fucsias, pensamientos y distintas aves que forman parte de la fauna nacional. Los chamantos adquirieron notoriedad internacional cuando fueron usados por los 21 líderes de la APEC, entre ellos George W. Bush (Estados Unidos) y Vladímir Putin (Rusia), durante la foto oficial de su reunión realizada en Chile en 2004. (es) |
