"Kot, the two-headed eagle is featured in many traditional Guatemalan weaves and ceremonial dresses," say artisans from Women United for Artisan Development as they explain their inspiration for this cushion cover. In Maya cosmogony - indeed in many pre-Hispanic cultures - the bicephalous eagle represents a great female deity with a head to attend good and one to evil; a head that sees toward the heavens, and one toward earth, and a head to see forward and one to see back. This cotton cushion cover in a versatile alabaster color hue featuring a sienna composition featuring the eagle and other birds. Cording defines the borders, and the back features a zipper closure.
