Ceremonial Shoulder Piece with Beaded Chains - "Aguacatán", turquoise/violet

The Ceremonial Aguacatán shoulder piece collection is one of our signature designs. It’s a lightweight piece of wearable art that comes in many colors.

Each shoulder piece has a hand-woven piece of traditional textile which is used in many Mayan ceremonies and on special occasions for the Mayan people. The cotton textile is hand-embroidered with geometric designs. This specific type of textile is only made in the town of Aguacatán, Quetzaltenango in Guatemala.

The textile has little spikes of ceramic beads, contributing to a unique look and feel. From the textile and down, you find our beautiful lines of ceramic beads in color variations and structures that will turn heads in any surroundings.
