The centre panel has a black back ground and is fully brocaded with geometric patterns (wind, water, mountains, quetzalcoat, hummingbrids standing on the Tabaco plant and corn plant), characteristic from the San Cristobal Verapaz area.  The two side panels have the same brocaded designs, but the back ground is white, with cordoned white threads. Notice the four selvedge ends on each panel. The square neckline is cut out.  All the colours are chemical dyes.
