Beautiful vintage woman's sash from Palin, Escuintla, Guatemala. From a the collection of a well-known museum. Collector also known. All provenance will be given to the buyer only. The collector was in Guatemala at various times in the 1930's and 1940's. It was accessioned in 1955. i am dating this sash to the 1940's, though it may be a bit earlier. Later ones have more supplementary weft designs, and they have a heading strip(a wefted area) within the fringe and the fringe warps are sometimes cut after the heading strip. This sash has complete warps as they were taken off the loom like earlier sashes without heading strips. Red cotton base with thin indigo lines. Fine mercerized cotton supplementary wefts.
Very good condition for age. Possibly never used as a sash. Minor thread pulls. See photographs, which were taken outdoors without a flash on a sunny day.
I do not accept returns, so please ask questions, and if desired, request
more photographs. If you would like more photographs, please message me
Size: 7-1/2” to 7-3/4” wide x 93-1/2” long excluding fringes, which are 10” long on each end
