Ancestral Depictions in Wheat

Working on the traditional telar de pie and telar de cintura, the Guatemalan weavers at Women United for Artisan Development hand-weave this cushion cover of cotton. It features a solid wheat ground, diligently detailed with intricate geometric motifs on the front that depict rhombus motifs and ancestral birds. On the back, the cover features a zipper for inserting a cushion.
