Vibrant handwoven Guatemalan faja featuring intricate multicolor embroidery with traditional animal and geometric motifs on a striking cobalt blue base. Traditionally worn by Indigenous Maya women, this unique textile reflects generations of weaving heritage and cultural storytelling.

The Zoomorphic "Double Headed Eagle" and Animal Motifs, prominently featured in the brocade panels are highly stylized, geometric animal figures. This includes the double headed eagle, as well as stylized birds and quadrupeds. The precise, blocky, supplementary weft brocading style used to form these creatures is a signature technique of San Juan Sacatepéquez highland communities.
