This wonderful and striking corte measures 40″ wide and 82″ long (doubled). Cortes are sewn together to make a tube. This corte has the opening at the sides as shown in the picture of the corte hanging. If the stitching joining the sides of the tube were removed, this fabric would measure approximately 40″ by 164″ laid out flat. There is an extra matching piece of fabric added at the bottom of the corte (on the width to make it 40″wide) to make it longer for taller women. This corte is fairly heavy due to its length; it weighs 2 1/2 pounds.

This corte is beautiful with its simple design that is common for the Coban region. The photos do not show how beautiful this corte is.

This corte is in great used condition, and very soft, with very little sign of wear.
