<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1107675, member: 8267"]Appears to be wool, woven on a backstrap loom which limits the width of the individual pieces. This is why there are two pieces sewn together to create a larger piece. Either Guatemala, or further south in the Andes. The costumes on the figures make me think Andean (with the hats), but the technique used to create the design (incorporating embroidery during the weaving process) makes me think Guatemala.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
