This is an exquisite vintage handwoven headdress from the town Nebaj Quiche from the Guatemala Highlands. This piece would be traditionally worn intertwined with long hair. What makes this cinta really remarkable is its use of the notable small brocade designs on the entire surface of the cinta. Often times, headdresses only feature colorful designs and patterns on the ends, as the middle section is seldom visible when worn. The headdress is handwoven on a backstrap loom with cotton threads.
