This petite vintage Mayan textile is a dazzling fusion of silk and cotton, showcasing the exceptional artistry and colour mastery of traditional Guatemalan weaving. The design bursts with intricate detail, as zigzag chevrons in vivid hues of magenta, mustard, turquoise, and violet dominate the central panel. The flanking sections are filled with rows of diamond and eye motifs in an electrifying palette.
Each woven thread tells a story, reflecting cultural identity, heritage, and the symbolic language passed down through generations of Mayan weavers. The interplay of vibrant colours and symmetrical patterns gives this textile an almost kinetic energy.
Compact yet bold, it makes for a striking wall hanging, table accent, or collector’s piece, an authentic testament to indigenous Central American textile tradition.
