BLACK & RED SHAWL Fine Mexican Textile Loomed by Purepecha Indigenous People

Description

CARAPAN, MEXICAN FOLK ART GALLERY SINCE 1950.
ABOUT THIS INDIGENOUS BACKSTRAP LOOMED SHAWL
This textile was back
strap loomed by Purépecha Indigenous people
from Michoacán, Mexico. The back strap loom is a pre hispanic technique for creating
textiles
and this piece is a fine sample of the outcome of such ancient and rudimentary tool.
The black and red color combination is striking and the little yellow dots on the fringe add a nice accent to the piece. The
rebozo
(shawl) is 100% cotton, except for the fringe which is rayon.
This piece
is an authentic
Haute Couture Mexican Indigenous Textile and
can be used not only as a grament but also as a home decor accent such as a table runner or bedspread.
Making each shawl takes years of knowledge and weeks of dedication.
With your shopping you support the work
of indigenous
families, with whom we work directly on a fair trade basis.
