Santa Maria de Jesus ceremonial faja (sash/belt).
This pre-1980 faja was hand woven on a back strap loom in one warp striped
cotton panel. The surface decoration is supplementary brocade featuring universal diamond and plumed serpent motifs typical of
Santa Maria de Jesus, much of it in silk, indicating ceremonial use. This rare item is in very good condition. It was acquired
from an anonymous private collection in Guatemala. W 24 x L 325 cm. (18-90) $150. OBO
