Rainbow Shawl/Throw

This is a typical "Rebozo" or shall/carrying cloth from Cotzal, however, the typical color palette for such rebozos would be less varied and have a red background with alternating stripes. It is common to see local women carrying this type of all-purpose cloth with them at all times. This particular rebozo is the perfect size and design to be used as a scarf, throw or even table runner (or all 3!). Rayon thread (processed cellulose) makes this cloth silky smooth.
