Two panelled Tzute or Utility Cloth woven on a back strap loom. San Juan Sacatepéquez has several common coloured stripes on the warp of the tzute: (purple, red, blue, brown and yellow).  One corner shows nicely brocaded patterns with silk details, the feathered serpent, birds and stars. Notice the four selvedge ends for both panels. The fine hand embroidered randa joins both panels with silk, cotton and mercerized cotton.  All the colours are chemical dyes, except for the Cuyuscate (natural brown cotton) and indigo. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
