The henequen fiber, a native agave from the Yucatan Peninsula, has been used by the Mayans since pre-Hispanic times for its resistant and durable composition. Henequen stitching is one of the techniques that arises from the use of the material, where wet and combed fibers are rolled circularly forming layers that are sewn together to build everyday objects. Horn carving was introduced in the Viceroyalty in Mexico and has been perfected over time by the Mayans. Today it is a globally recognized technique, unique to Yucatan, that uses only recovered material. The pedal loom is a weaving technique for working in large formats, introduced in Mexico after the Spanish conquest and originating in Egypt. The Mayans developed textiles since pre-Hispanic times and with the introduction of this tool, today artisans weave with natural fibers native to the Yucatan Peninsula such as henequen.
