The fiber of henequen, a native agave from the Yucatan Peninsula, has been used by the Mayans since pre-Hispanic times for its resistant and durable composition. Henequen sewing is one of the techniques that arises from the use of this material, where wet and combed fibers are circularly rolled to form layers that are sewn together to build everyday objects. Horn carving was introduced in the Viceroyalty of Mexico and has been perfected over time by the Mayans. Today, it is a globally recognized technique, specific to Yucatan, that uses only recovered materials. The pedal loom is a weaving technique for working on large formats, introduced in Mexico after the Spanish conquest and originating in Egypt. The Mayans have been developing 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.
