Horn carving was introduced in the Viceroyalty in Mexico and has been perfected over time by the Mayans. Today it is a technique recognized worldwide, typical of Yucatan, which uses only recovered material. The weaving of jipijapa, a plant native to the 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 fabric, which can take from a week to a month. The Maya backstrap loom developed by this same culture in the western mountains of Guatemala. The loom is held 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 canvases.
