    Description

    Beautiful vintage women's tzute or servilleta from Chichicastenango, Guatemala. 1st half of the 20th century. Contains stripes of ixcaco, which is a natural brown cotton. The textile is almost all cotton, with a small bit of silk floss and some small areas of wool yarn supplementary wefts. From a known private collector. The buyer will receive the original collector's name.
    Good condition. Minor wear and fading. Some of the dyes have bled. I haven't tried to remove this. It may be removable since it is on cotton, but I can't guarantee it. It depends on the dyes used. See photographs, which were taken outdoors without a flash on a sunny day. If you would like more photographs, please message me.
