Zapotec Textiles
Zapotec textiles are traditional woven fabrics created by the Zapotec people, an indigenous group from the Oaxaca region of Mexico. These textiles are known for their vibrant colors and intricate designs, often featuring geometric patterns and motifs inspired by nature and cultural symbols.
The weaving process typically involves using a backstrap loom, allowing artisans to create unique pieces such as blankets, clothing, and decorative items. Each textile reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Zapotec community, showcasing their craftsmanship and connection to their ancestral traditions.
