Vintage Guatemalan Tocoyal – Handwoven Mayan Hair Wrap or Belt

A piece of living tradition, woven with story and soul. 🌿

In Guatemala, indigenous women wear an intricate hair wrap known as a Tocoyal — a symbol of heritage, artistry, and identity. Each region creates its own unique version, from simple ribbons to elaborate woven headdresses.

This particular Tocoyal was purchased directly from the village of San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. Handwoven on a traditional pedal loom, it features vibrant patterns and fine craftsmanship. The women artisans embellish each piece with sparkly tassels, garland threads, or delicate hand-beaded details, making every one-of-a-kind.

Whether you wear it the traditional way — wrapped gracefully around your hair — or repurpose it as a belt, curtain tie, or creative home accent, this stunning piece of art carries generations of Mayan weaving heritage.
