Women's Servilleta, made from two pieces of equal width joined together with red and yellow cotton. Mr & Mrs Maudslay had attached narrow cotton sleeves to the reverse of this textiles so that they could display it.
Both panels were woven together, cut and then rejoined side-by-side. Six different types of thread have been used in the pattern: red, orange, yellow, dark blue and brown cotton and yellow floss silk (now faded to cream). All silk in Guatemala, except for a small amount of 'wild' silk, was imported; it was expensive and was generally used only in small amounts. In this textiles, small lengths of silk can be seen in the horse's head in the lower right hand corner. []
