New hand embroidered ixacaco cotton pillow covers from Guatemala at Ambiance Nosara.

The textiles of Guatemala are known throughout the world. Among their vivid colors, that of the ixacaco cotton stands out since pre-Hispanic times for its simplicity and meaning.

The Maya believed in the cosmic energy of the ixcaco cotton (Gossypium Mexicanum), also called coyuchi or coyuscate. Since time immemorial, the Guatemalan indigenous people of different ethnic groups have used this cotton as protection against spirits and various evils.

The ixacaco is a short-fiber brown cotton, which initially was grown in America, where it was symbol of the fertility of the Earth, the power of the Sun and the goddess Ixchel Maya. In fact, fragments of garments made of ixcaco cotton have been found in Inca, Aztec and Mayan tombs, which were built for members of the nobility.

Shipping services are available.

SOLD, Jaguar and the Shaman. Original and authentic Boruca Mask. Boruca (also called Brunca, Brunka or Borunca) are a proud indigenous people of Costa Rica. Their striking, hand-carved Boruca masks are so popular that imitations are sold throughout the Central American country. But the indigenous culture is more than a mask. Boruca is built on faith in the wisdom of elders and the Boruca legends they tell, passed down for centuries. The identity of Boruca reflects a deep respect for the stories told, the nature that surrounds them, and the community they share.

It’s an honor to have Authentic Boruca masks available at Ambiance Nosara. Come see what’s in the shop or take a look at the artists catalog.
