While you’ll probably use this loom for display, it was originally made for the younger generations of the Ixbalam Ke weaving community in Samac de Cobán, Guatemala to learn the tradition of weaving. The white-on-white motifs depict the natural surroundings such as corn plant, crabs, leaves, mountains, rivers, spiders, and trees, as well as ducks and people. This intricate cotton gauze weaving was disappearing until the cooperative formed and the women dedicated themselves to preserving this inlay weaving technique.
