Beige Rambutan table runner

Chenalho, Chiapas

Table runner woven on a backstrap loom by the group "Las Caracolas" in the municipality of Chenalhó, Chiapas. This weaving technique is made with a weft thread on a line design prepared from the warp, on which the artisans embroider with a traditional technique called “raised embroidery”. In this technique, the artisans count the threads of the fabric using about 12 threads to give texture to the figures they form. The design on this table runner combines three different traditional iconographies called: "herringbone", "rambutan" and "star". In the finishes it has double tassels across the width of the table runner.
