Burgundy and beige are woven into a hammock that promises a delightful rest. Mexico's Maya Artisans of the Yucatan keep tradition alive by weaving this cotton hammock with the same techniques developed by their Maya ancestors. The hammock's loops are crafted with nylon threads. Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honoured customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.
Please note: For best results, store indoors when not in use. colours may bleed when wet.
Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in colour from those shown in the images.
NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight colour variations from hammock to hammock.
To wash, hook the loops together and keep out of the basin to avoid hammock from getting tangled.

I thought for the price I was paying I was getting a better quality hammock. The burgundy riviera looks nice on pictures and it looks like a decent thread rope, but when I received it, the nylon threads looked like the hairs on a corn tusk. Ive bought hammocks before from Central America, these Novica hammocks are way overpriced and not worth the price.
