Featured Where was this woven textile made?

This is not my area at all. My first thought was Mexican, then changed my mind and looked up Peruvian.
See what you think

My best guess would be Guatemala.

Debora

 

I am also thinking Guatemalan/Mayan. Narrow pieces sewn together often points toward their having been woven on a backstrap loom - the width limited by how far the weaver can comfortably reach.
Can you tell what the fibers are? And is there any special treatment at the seam joining the 2 pieces?

 

My first thought was Mexican, but the way of weaving made me doubt

 

With respect to all:I don’t have time to research right now and I’m overall a rug moron with some knowledge (really kilims and Navajos) and I can’t get past agreeing with the OP and seeing Moroccan. Specifically Moroccan. I don’t know and don’t have time to research right now but before you eliminate it check it out.

EDIT LOL Nope have to agree with the others as Guatemalan even though there is something so “Middle East/N African“ to me but now that I look at it I think I’m seeing stepped pyramids LOL so has to be Latin American and Guatemala definitely does that kind of stripping. I think this piece is great looking.

 

Close but no cigar.
O well

 

To add to the confusion, I thought southern Balkans (including Greece).

 

Well, that might push it into South America - Andean. They used similar techniques. It would be described as a warp-faced fabric (the warp is packed so tightly that it forms the visible surface, while the weft is hidden), with supplementary/substitution warps to form the patterns (this method creates the long "floats" on the back of the textile). Cotton is traditional in Guatemala, although @Taupou has explained that wool yarn has been introduced and is also used. But this looks like fine hand spun, single ply yarn, which I would expect to be more typical of Andean traditions.

 

I am seeing that in bedouin rugs they typically connect two pieces together. And they are woolen

 

They do that in many areas where they have narrow looms. Often hip looms, but not always.

 

Yes true but there was something about that pattern.

Fascinated that AJ said Greece as I can see that too. It’s more kilimish which is why I strayed from Latin.Am I seeing pyramids in that pattern? If so can’t be Greece. Or is it just a stepped design but I see a doorway.

Blowing up I don’t think I see pyramidal shapes. I don’t know what I see.See Greek key (and dead people). I’m back to kilimish. It never read Latin to me but couldn’t demy thinking I saw a pyramidal shape.

 

Really interested in a definitive answer but I can’t get past a non Latin vibe.

 

@Bookahtoo - Let me double-check. I have been assuming the stripes run parallel to the selvage edges, i.e. in the warp direction. And that the seam runs parallel to the stripes, selvage edge to selvage edge. Is that correct?
