Traditional Guatemalan faja handcrafted with vibrant geometric embroidery, rich green and multicolor striped weaving, and decorative hand-tied pom poms. Worn by Indigenous women to secure traditional skirts, this piece showcases generations of Maya textile artistry and makes a striking collectible or cultural statement piece.
The defining feature of this belt is the dense, vertically interlocking diamond and chevron patterns (jaspe or k'an variations) that cover the main body. The way these concentric diamonds are woven to create an almost textured, ribbed effect is a hallmark of Santa Catarina Palopó artistry.
