  Cultural Significance
 




 
 


 

  

   
    These kinds of woven pieces are often
   
   
    mid-20th century Mexican folk art textiles
   
   
    , combining bold stripes with symbolic or humorous figures.
   
  
 
 

  

   
    The
   
   
    figures with wide sombreros/ponchos
   
   
    are common motifs in Mexican tourist-market weavings (1950s–1980s).
   
  
 
 

  

   
    The geometric motifs reference
   
   
    Zapotec/Oaxacan weaving traditions
   
   
    .
