The San Martín basket is a tribute to the volcano of the same name, located in the south of Veracruz, it brings together traditional “junco” basketry techniques, known by artisans; material endemic to the regional jungles and used by the inhabitants of this area for its hardness and resistance to humidity since for generations it has been used to create baskets for collecting and storing seeds. For its elaboration, Fortuna and Pablo together with their daughters María and Gabriela, Nahua natives of the community of Encino Amarillo municipality of Mecayapan, Veracruz, are the ones who walk kilometers to cut and clean the fiber that they later prepare and weave to give life to this utilitarian piece; The expert wood carving collective Agua y Monte, originally from the municipality of Pajapan, Veracruz, participates collaboratively, making the handles in cocuite wood and polished with beeswax in an artisanal way.
