Image description

part of the everyday attire of men in this village; woven from natural cotton; zigzag motif maybe: a Mayan priest climbing to a temple; cerritos, Spanish for 'little hills'; the god of lightening. Centre shows a double-headed eagle, symbol of the intertwining of Spanish and Mayan cultures; diamonds are the most common element in Mayan art, symbolizing the four corners of the Mayan world; smaller diamond in centre symbolizes the sun; the appearance of these motifs in a common garment shows the importance of the Mayan belief system;
