Cotzal Nook Piece: Naturally-dyed 2

// This is part of a collaborative mini collection of handwoven brocade beauties from San Juan Cotzal created with the naturally-dyed cotton threads that we love to use. //

A small brocade-filled gem handwoven by Juana in San Juan Cotzal. This cooperative of weavers produces gorgeous items featuring traditional brocade motifs of the town including birds, corn, and geometric figures. Learn about meaning behind these traditional symbols in this blog post. 

Each piece is a unique work of art, but made with the same naturally-dyed yarns as shown in the pictures for consistency. Individual brocade figures vary.

The size and richness of this Nook Piece makes it great for decorating all sorts of special places around the house. Under a candle, making a little alter of those important items, at the center of a small table, or even as a luxurious mousepad to ground you in your work at home. The indigo base makes this piece especially serene.
