This beautiful vintage bedcover whispers stories from the Guatemala highlands. Handwoven on a traditional back-strap loom, the cool cotton base, perfect for the Guatemalan climate, is bathed in a refreshing green hue, a color often associated with nature and renewal in Mayan culture. The true showstopper lies in the decorative bands. Woven using the brocade technique, these bands explode in a kaleidoscope of colors along the top, showcasing the exceptional skills of Guatemalan artisans. The intricate geometric patterns may even hold symbolic meaning within Mayan traditions.
While traditionally used as a bedcover, this versatile piece transcends its purpose. Drape it over a sofa or armchair for a splash of color. Please note, this vintage textile exhibits signs of aging, including sun damage and discoloration.
**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio lighting.
