Listeros,
A tomb at Copan has yielded textiles that reveal the Maya created
high quality fabrics woven by highly skilled artisans. At one
offertory platform, there were 25 layers of fabrics made up of
different fabric structures, color, yarn size, some with very high
thread count equal to modern fabrics.
