SOLD – Serape-style textile

Many of the weavers in the Classic era (1800-1880) continued to create textiles throughout the 19th century. This later Serape design textile may have been made by one of these weavers or created by their daughters. Notice the artist’s incorporation of variegated red yarns, likely a result of less access to finer yarns. By the late 19th century, the superior yarns available decades earlier resulted in weavers needing to be resourceful with what was available at the time.
