| This is a beautifully handwoven teal green table center. Each one is special and unique (but similar to the one in the photo). Place it on the center of a dining room table, a coffee table, or anywhere you want to have a special accent. The table center measures 21 x 16 inches. This is made by a Samajel B'atz' cooperative known as MARIA DE NAZARETH. The cooperative consists of 60 widows and teenage orphans, of the Ixil ethnic group, located in San Juan Cotzal, in the province of El Quiché. In 1990, they founded Mara de Nazareth, in hopes of overcoming their social, political and economic plight. Its weavings are made on backstrap looms, with designs that are specific to San Juan Cotzal, and last year we also began to use the floor loom.
