Cloth (tzute) 1950

"Cloth (tzute)" is a 1950 textile artwork by Maya. The artwork, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features a dark blue background with white stripes, creating a visual rhythm. A vertical band on the right side is woven with colorful, geometric patterns, which add depth and contrast to the composition. Tzutes are traditionally used as garments by Mayan women and are notable for their intricate designs and rich cultural significance. This particular tzute reflects the vibrant textile traditions of the Maya people.
