Pynteputetrekk - Pedal Loom

Mexican decorative cushion Cover. The cushion is woven on a backstrap loom or waist loom in Chiapas, Mexico.   The perfect pillow to decorate your boho-style home. 

Backstrap weaving is an ancient art practiced for centuries in many parts of the world. Peru, Guatemala, China, Japan, Bolivia, and Mexico are a few of the countries where weavers use a type of backstrap loom. Today it is still used on a daily basis, in many parts of Mexico by women, to weave fabric for their clothing and other needed household textiles such as shawls, baby wraps, tablecloths, washcloths, towels, and so much more.
