Copper Filigree Triple Nylon Brown Rope Hammock by NOVICA

The Maya artisans of the Yucatan transform copper filigree into a welcoming hammock. This extra-large hammock, crafted by Maya Artists of the Yucatan, is bordered with crocheted lace, tassels, and pinewood beads. Long before the Spanish arrived on the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks, which they considered to be like 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 seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and can be stored just about anywhere. They easily pack for travel to the beach or lake. Extender ropes (measuring 1 meter), hammock hooks ("S" hooks), and step-by-step instructions are included for easy installation.

It is important to note that because each hammock is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. Additionally, there may be slight color variations from one hammock to another.

This authentic NOVICA fair trade product, associated with National Geographic, comes with an official NOVICA Story Card certifying its quality and authenticity. The hammock is made of 100% nylon with pinewood beads and can hold up to 550 lbs. The necessary hanging accessories, including "S" hooks and extender ropes, are included.
