Two paneled utility cloth woven on a back strap loom. Each panel is finely brocaded with different warp lines and flowers & bird design. These European designs are woven in, using the double face brocading technique, so the patterns show on both sides of the tzute. This technique is woven only in San Antonio Aguas Calientes. This piece can be used to cover the woman’s head or as a table cloth during the ceremony. Notice the four selvedge ends. All the colours are chemical dyes, except for the blue warp lines which are made with indigo.  Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
