Woven by hand in cheerful colors, this double-sized hammock invites a siesta. Maya Artists of the Yucatán create it in the same way they have for centuries, finishing the ends with strong loops for hanging.
Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.
Please note: For best results, store indoors when not in use. Colors may bleed when wet.
NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight color variations from hammock to hammock.
You can find our cotton hammock 'Red Wine Sunset' (double) by Maya Artists of the Yucatan in categories such as Cotton Hammock and Rope Hammock. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
