I only have a few of these and they are lovely beyond what I could likely write but I will give it a go ~ These Ponchos are hand woven, hand dyed, hand embroidered by women generations ago and passed down through the families. Occscionlly one will be retired and I just happened to run into someone there who had several from families in his and neighboring villages. What luck! So I have added several pictures of each, the poncho as a while and close ups of the embroidery. These are one of a kind and can be worn, they do show some wear due to their age. Also keep in mind that Guatemalan women are small in build and stature so these aren't real long. If you are a collector of rare and unusual as well as beautiful work, these are a must have!
Details for this one ~ A significate amount of embrordery on this one. large at the neck images of butterflys and flowers, then in a gird format, littler images of birds and flowers. A purple material hand dyed, woven and embroidered. I can't imagine the work that went into this one in particular it is outstanding!
