Hand-embroidered Guatemalan Maya textile featuring symbolic figures, animals, and architectural motifs arranged in vertical registers and framed by a traditional diamond-pattern border. Worked in vivid colors on a dark ground, this piece reflects classic highland Maya design language and was created as a decorative or ceremonial textile rather than a garment.
Professionally mounted on linen and framed, ready to hang. Strong graphic presence and excellent color saturation. Likely mid to late 20th century.
A striking example of Central American folk art, well-suited for collectors of indigenous textiles or as a statement wall piece.
