Copper Filigree Triple Nylon Rope Hammock

The Maya artisans of the Yucatan transform copper filigree into a welcoming hammock, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship. This extra-large hammock, produced by Maya Artists of the Yucatan, is bordered with crocheted lace, tassels, and pinewood beads, creating a visually striking and comfortable resting place.

Long before the Spanish arrived on the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya people had a strong preference for sleeping and resting in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be akin to the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle.

Maya Artists of the Yucatan strive to preserve these time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is not merely a functional item, but a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and can be stored in a variety of spaces.

The hammock can be easily packed for travel to the beach or lake, making it a versatile and convenient accessory. Each hammock comes with extender ropes (measuring 1 meter), hammock hooks ("S" hooks), and step-by-step instructions for easy installation.

It's important to note that since each hammock is woven individually by hand, the measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. Additionally, there may be slight color variations from one hammock to the next, adding to the uniqueness of each piece.

This authentic NOVICA fair trade product, created in association with National Geographic, is certified with an official NOVICA Story Card that attests to its quality and authenticity. The hammock is made from 100% nylon with pinewood beads, and can hold up to 550 pounds, making it suitable for a wide range of users.

In conclusion, the Maya artisans of the Yucatan have masterfully transformed copper filigree into a beautiful and functional hammock that celebrates their rich cultural heritage. This exceptional product not only provides a comfortable resting place but also serves as a testament to the enduring traditions of the Maya people.
