Strawberry Mountain Peaks

Rows of triangles in brilliant colors depict Guatemala's steep volcanic mountains. The rich visual textures are created by hand on the backstrap loom. Working with yellow, blue, pink and yellow, orange and rose, Juan Jose Ventura accentuates the motifs with solid bands of strawberry red. The vivid cotton clutch opens to reveal a zipper pocket with six spaces for documents and cards. Tassels add cheer.
