Hongo Throw Pillow

$425.00

Blending traditional and contemporary motifs from the weaving community of Nahualá, this pillow is a stunning showcase of the ancient art of backstrap weaving. The intricate plaid background echoes the corte, the traditional skirt worn by Maya women in Guatemala, a symbol of heritage and identity. Adding to its rich narrative, the middle horizontal section features delicate mushroom designs— a nod to the enigmatic Maya Mushroom Stones unearthed at archaeological sites across Guatemala. These carved stones, believed to hold spiritual and ceremonial significance, add an element of mystery and cultural depth to the design. A true fusion of history and artistry, this pillow is both a tribute to time-honored weaving traditions and a striking addition to any space.
