Palenque is the name of an ancient Mayan city-state in Mexico, where a famous tomb resides within the confines of a pyramid. This cotton wall hanging recreates the images and characters depicted on the surface of that tomb, portraying the great leader Pakal, surrounded by Mayan religious motifs. El Salvador's Rhina Rehmann designs the wall hanging, achieving the motifs using the batik method, where a wax resist is applied to the cotton fabric before submerging it in a vat of Prussian blue dye, with gold-colored accents added afterward by hand.

During the times when European explorers began arriving on the shores of ancient Latin America, Mayan cultures throughout the continent enjoyed a great prosperity of mercantile life. An ah ppolom, or "great merchant," would travel between cities in order to facilitate the transfer of goods. Accompanied by servants and warriors, an ah ppolom is depicted here in this cotton wall hanging designed by Rhina Rehmann. Featuring ivory-colored motifs against a body of Prussian blue, the patterns in the Salvadoran wall hanging are achieved using the batik method, where a wax resist is applied to the fabric before it is submerged in a vat of dye.

Cozy as a traditional cottage in the rich Guatemalan lands, this wall art beats with the heart of a land blessed by nature and its people. Artist Carolina Cabrera depicts the region's big heart in this piece made of cotton-wool blend threads and acrylic accents for a vibrant look. Set on a cotton textile, the piece portrays Guatemala's nature through sweet details in intense colors, imitating a spring morning.

The artwork, titled Latido in Spanish, is framed with pinewood for a lustrous display.
