Men’s kushmas are multicolored, with vertical stripes, while women’s are a single color. Once they are ready, they are given drawings with pigments in the style of each artisan. As the garments become worn, they can be dyed a darker color with plant pigments extracted from forest plants, extending their use.

The Ashaninka, descendants of the Antis who once inhabited the eastern Andes, have resisted subjugation for centuries. Their distinctive architecture, clothing, and family house organization reflect their enduring culture. Their territory spans the eastern Andes to Acre, with around 100,000 Ashaninka, including 2,000 in Brazil. Mirella Ricciardi supported their fight for the demarcation of the Terra Indígena do Rio Amônia, achieved in 1992.
