Totonicapán rebozo (shawl).

This circa-1980 rebozo was hand woven on a back strap loom in one weft striped cotton panel. These stripes include those with complex ikat, a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs a resist dying process similar to tie-dye. Some of the weft stripes are ixcaco, hand spun naturally brown cotton. The warp thread is dyed with the natural dye, indigo. This rebozo is in very good condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó of Santa Maria de Jesus at her space in the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua Guatemala. W58 x L150 cm plus fringes. (12-345) $180. OBO
