Navajo woman's fancy manta, wool, ca. 1850-1865, collection of the Arizona State Museum[1]

Amanta is a rectangular textile that was worn as a blanket or as a wrap-around dress.[2] When worn as a dress, the manta is held together by a woven sash.

Mantas are worn by such indigenous peoples as the Navajo,[2] Hopi, and Pueblo peoples. Today they are worn during important ceremonies, such as weddings,[3] dances, and feast days
