Santa Maria de Jesus tzute (utility cloth).

This circa-1980 tzute was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well-balanced warp striped panels, predominantly in red. These panels are joined by a hand embroidered decorative seam and decorated with supplementary brocade featuring universal diamond, bird, plant and animal motifs. This fine example is large and in very good condition. It was acquired from the collection of an ex-US diplomat in Guatemala. W 100 x L 105 cm. (16-37) $ 100. OBO
