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 uses only recovered material. The weaving of jipijapa, a native plant from tropical areas of the American continent, began to appear in Campeche around the year 1800. Artisans collect the jipi to prepare its fibers until obtaining different thicknesses. This fiber is woven in a humid environment and the process depends on the fineness of the weave, which can take from one week to one month. The Maya backstrap loom was developed by this same culture in the western mountains of Guatemala. The loom is secured at two ends, one of them being the weaver‘s waist, and consists of weaving threads through a weft and warp. It is practiced by women to weave colorful fabrics.
