Paradise of Grijalva, Chiapas
Handwoven canvas by the artisan group Barrio Norte, Paraíso Grijalva located near Venustiano Carranza in the state of Chiapas. In this Tzotzil community, the artisan women make huipiles with brocade in the weave, that is, important symbols that represent the stars, the furrows in the earth for planting and fertility. These symbols are the traditional iconography and are embodied on the chest to give it greater importance. The Paradise Blouse has been woven with white threads on white, and this makes it very special, since it implies great dexterity and ability of the weaver.
