This vintage Aztec-Mayan tapestry is a striking handwoven textile that embodies the bold symbolism and artistry of ancient Mesoamerican traditions. Rendered in earthy tones of brown, black, cream, and terracotta, the central figure depicts a stylised human or deity-like form, with strong geometric features, outstretched arms, and a powerful stance. Its abstracted face and body echo traditional Aztec and Mayan iconography, symbolising strength, spirituality, and cosmic balance.
Crafted from wool, the tapestry showcases masterful weaving techniques with sharp contrasts and rhythmic patterns that frame the central motif. The stepped and angular designs surrounding the figure reflect the architectural and symbolic language of pre-Columbian art. Both decorative and deeply cultural, this textile serves as a powerful homage to the visual storytelling of Aztec and Mayan civilisations, making it a remarkable collector's piece and a striking wall display.
Authentic vintage and antique Mayan kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the rugs' age and pre-loved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our kilim rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your kilim in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your kilim from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your kilim.
Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
