This handwoven, vintage Mayan K'iche' textile, crafted from cotton, beautifully reflects Guatemalan heritage with its intricate geometric motifs and figurative imagery. Featuring birds, animals, and human figures in vibrant shades of indigo, violet, black, and white with accents of red and orange, it captures both daily life and spiritual symbolism.

More than decoration, this textile embodies Mayan storytelling, where each motif carries the meaning of fertility, protection, and community. A rare and authentic piece, it showcases the artistry and cultural depth of the K'iche' weaving.

Authentic antique and vintage South American textiles are crafted on handlooms using cotton or 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 handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
