Bright colors reveal the presence of Kot, the two-headed eagle goddess, on this jet black cotton cushion cover. Kot is featured in many traditional Guatemalan weaves and ceremonial dresses, say artisans from Women United for Artisan Development as they explain their inspiration for this cushion cover. In Maya cosmogony - indeed in many pre-Hispanic cultures - the bicephalous eagle represents a great female deity with a head to attend to good and one to evil; a head that sees toward the heavens, and one toward earth, and a head to see forward and one to see back. Cording defines the square cushion cover, and the back features a zipper closure.
