Chili Suns Chocolate Birds on Cinnamon Cotton Cushion Cover, "Mountain Sun"
"The inspiration for this square cushion cover comes from the beautiful sight made by the sun when it rises and falls over the mountains. It's as if they fuse together," artisans from Women United for Artisan Development explain. The Guatemalan artisans weave the cotton cushion cover in a spicy cinnamon hue featuring chili red suns and escorted by chocolate brown birds. The artisans border the square cover with cording and include a zipper closure on the back.

"Beautifully made"
I love the design on front, and the back zipper is hidden— well designed and carefully made. It seems like it will last a long time too.
