This object forms part of the Inge Ruus collection of Guatemalan Textiles in the Museum of Anthropology. The Inge Ruus Collection of Guatemalan Textiles was collected on behalf of the Museum of Anthropology by Inge Ruus, Curatorial Assistant in the Museum from 1974 to 1978. Some items were purchased by the Museum and others were donated by Inge Ruus. Inge Ruus collected these materials while attending courses on Guatemalan textiles in Guatemala during the summers of 1976 and 1977, taught by Anne Lambert, instructor on textiles at the University of Alberta.

The loosely woven section in the fringe is caused by the weaving method. After the continuous warp had been threaded on the loom, the weaver then put in a few rows of weft to stabilize the warp in place. Then she turned the loom around and wove the rest of the sash from the other end.
