ABOUT THIS BACK STRAP LOOMED MEXICAN TEXTILE

Crafted by the skilled hands of the Huave Indigenous People from San Mateo del Mar along the Coast of Oaxaca, this remarkable textile is a testament to their rich cultural heritage. Made entirely from 100% cotton and crafted using the ancient pre-Columbian backstrap loom technique, it features intricate brocade figures that speak to the artistry and tradition of its makers.

Capturing an idyllic coastal landscape teeming with everyday life, the textile portrays women diligently working their pedal looms near their homes, men tending to their plows, and fishermen braving the sea. Each scene is woven with care, reflecting the deep connection between the Huave people and their environment.

So exquisite is this piece that it transcends mere fabric; it is a work of art deserving of framing or as a captivating home decor accent, infusing any space with its vibrant narrative and cultural significance.

The creation of a textile of this caliber requires years of knowledge and days of dedicated craftsmanship. By choosing to bring this piece into your home, you not only adorn your space with beauty but also directly support indigenous families through fair trade practices, fostering sustainability and preserving ancient traditions for generations to come.
