Basketry

The so-called chiquihuistes are baskets used for the harvest as well as to keep tamales or tortillas warm. This craft requires a lot of patience and skill; since the harvest of vegetable fiber (zanicax) is done in the forest. Subsequently, the zanicax must be dried, cleaned; and the wands must be cut in different sizes depending on the craft. In order to shape the crafts, artisans use their feet in the beginning and they finish with their hands.
