Weight: 462 g (16,29 ounces)
Fabric: cotton.
This textile is from
Santa Maria de Jesus, Department of Sacatepequez, Guatemala, Cakchiquel Maya group.
It is a tzute (used as a head cloth, shawl, carrying cloth by the women of the village).
It was woven on the backstrap loom in two sections joined by a hand embroidered joining seam.
As you can see in the photos, I had this masterpiece of Mayan craftsmanship lined on the back.
You can use this handmade
textile as a tablecloth, to decorate your home or to hang on the wall.
I bought it in Guatemala, the country whose wonderful colourful fabrics inspired a famous Italian fashion designer.
