Commentaires : This object forms part of the Inge Ruus Collection of Guatemalan Textiles in the Museum of Anthropology. The Inge Ruus Collection of Guatemalan Textiles was collected on behalf of the Museum of Anthropology by Inge Ruus, Curatorial Assistant in the Museum from 1974 to 1978. Some items were purchased by the Museum and others were donated by Inge Ruus. Inge Ruus collected these materials while attending courses on Guatemalan textiles in Guatemala during the summers of 1976 and 1977, taught by Anne Lambert, instructor on textiles at the University of Alberta.
Fonctions : Everyday wear. Most women wrap the faja around their waist several times, in order to maintain the pleats in their skirts. This particular faja was possibly obtained in trade from the area of Totonicapan. Belts of this area are distinguished by human, animal and geometric motifs placed in crosswise bands (Osborne; Pancake).
