Mayan textiles The Maya had a rich textile tradition that has survived

despite the passage of time.

He Mayan textiles are as a language, a language that expresses humanity,

wisdom and full of many secrets and hidden meanings.

Was the moon goddess, Ixchel, which gave women the art of weaving, she

gave them looms. Now with the emergence of new fabrics is losing the

ancient art. Its base was cotton and Henequén.

Many of these fabrics are exhibited in ethnological museums as Berlin,

Amsterdam, Leiden and Amberes. These exhibitions aim to show how this

pre-Hispanic art form has endured so far.

The clothes with these fabrics are considered a social peel or a second

peel. The diversity of the clothing of the Mayan matches its cultural

complexity. The garments contain cultural codes. The Mayans had

intended to transmit cultural values and traditions through their tissues

The fabrics and garments personalize and serve to know who is the bearer

of the piece, where it comes from, marital status, social status, and other

data. For example according to the color and the length of a skirt you can

see if the woman if single, married or widowed, and importance within

their group. In the garments, carrying emblems of their beliefs, gods, heroes

or signs of fertility.

Is difficult to find old pieces because the weather does not permit

conservation and because Mayan Tradition says that someone dies should

be buried with all their belongings.

Gradually these textiles have evolved and now are like the shoes

Engashada or Wanderlust.
