This is an exquisite vintage handwoven headdress from the town Aguacatán, being sold by our friend Fernando in Chichicastenango. This piece would be traditionally worn intertwined with long hair (see last images, taken by Mari in Aguacatán during a visit). What makes this cinta really remarkable is its use of the notable small brocade designs on the entire surface and the beautiful tassels on the ends, made with cotton thread. This is a very special treasure piece to be cherished.
Fernando and his family have a small textile treasure stores in their home town, a place filled with the most beautiful items imaginable. Currently because of travel restrictions due to COVID-19 both nationally and internationally, they have not had any local sales. Thus, the listing of some of the treasures on our site here on our Artisan Direct page.
The headdress is handwoven on a backstrap loom with cotton threads.
