Floral and Bird-Themed Cotton Blend Tapestry from Guatemala, "Colors of Liberty"

Featuring a variety of vibrant colors, this tapestry is designed by the Mayan Women's Rug Hooking Group of Guatemala. Micaela Churunel Ajú sees birds as symbols of liberty, representing them in this handcrafted item as they flutter among a floral garden. She uses recycled cotton blend remnants to create the tapestry, diligently incorporating the yarns through a time-honored hooking technique. The one-of-a-kind tapestry is completed with a cotton backing.
