Guatemalan Tzutes & Servilletas
Both tzutes and servilletas can be simply referred to as "multi-purpose" cloths. They have a variety of uses depending on their size. For instance a large tzute might be folded and worn on the head as decoration and protection from the sun during the daytime, and wrapped around the shoulders for warmth in the evening. A servilleta might be used as handkerchief or a food covering. They are an indispensable part of the Maya Indian's costume. For more infomation regarding Guatemalan textiles click here.
