The carving of horn was introduced in the Viceroyalty in Mexico and has been perfected over time by the Mayans. Today, it is a globally recognized technique, native to Yucatan, that exclusively uses recovered materials. The pedal loom is a weaving technique used for large formats, introduced in Mexico after the Spanish conquest and originating from Egypt. The Mayans developed textiles since pre-Hispanic times and with the introduction of this tool, artisans now weave with natural fibers native to the Yucatan Peninsula such as henequen.
