Description

Woven corte, or mayan skirt, in beautiful purple and gold colors with lovely ikat design! The corte is a wrap-around skirt that consists of a cut of cloth usually joined to form a tube into which the woman steps. Excess material is wrapped around the body, folded at the waist in pleats, and tied with a faja (belt).

This like new and heavier corte measures 39″ wide and 70″ long (laid flat). Cortes are generally sewn together to make a tube for wearing. This corte has the opening at the long 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 39″ by 140″ laid out flat. Note that the corte has been extended by adding an extra strip along the end. Some taller women prefer a longer skirt than the looms provide. This is common.

This corte is beautiful with its purple and gold colors and ikat design throughout. There are accent stripes of gold metallic thread. This medium weight corte is woven on a foot loom of crisp cotton.

Fabric from cortes can be used in a variety of ways besides just for wearing, such as table covers, bed covers, curtains, throw pillows, clothing, etc. due to the heavier and more durable nature of the weaving.

This corte is in like new used condition, with little to no sign of wear, perhaps a few loose threads. A lovely textile!
