Greetings from a first-time poster, :-)

In reference to Mike Ruggeri's following post re: Mayan textiles, I am 
interested in the looms used.  Were they of the backstrap variety or?  I would be 
grateful if members might kindly lead me to sources of pictorial evidence of 
Maya weaving from their pottery or murals?

Thanks so much!

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.
