Cloth (tzute) 1930 - 1940

"Cloth (tzute)" is a piece of fabric created by an anonymous Mayan artist sometime between 1930 and 1940, and is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The work is a simple piece of white cloth with faint rust-colored designs on the bottom half, showcasing traditional Mayan weaving techniques and the use of natural dyes. The worn and weathered nature of the fabric highlights its everyday use and speaks to its history as a part of Mayan culture.
