This textile, titled "Woman's Cofradía Tzute," was likely created around 1930 by an unknown Maya artist. The Tzute, a type of woven cloth, is adorned with intricate patterns of flowers and stylized figures, executed in a variety of colored threads. The piece is divided into two panels and displays a delicate grid pattern, reflecting traditional Maya weaving techniques. The textile is now part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
