This serape was handwoven in central Mexico during the middle of the 20th century.
A luminous Texcoco serape distinguished by its saturated indigo field and a well articulated central diamond medallion. The stepped, labyrinthine geometry—woven in crisp natural white and deep black creates a powerful visual anchor, while the serrated motifs and butterfly-like accents along the border add nice rhythmic movement.
Handwoven on a narrow loom and seamed at the center, the piece shows the hallmarks of traditional Central Mexican serape production with fine, tightly spun wool, exceptional color clarity, and a balanced interplay between bold design and refined linework. The indigo tones remain remarkably rich, softened only by age and use, giving the textile a warm patina.
Striped end panels frame the composition and provide contrast, grounding the vivid blue with earthy neutrals.
