Mayo Sarape ca. 1960 Sonora, Mexico Catalog Information |
Description |
|
|
This style of blanket is called a sarape. The Mayos did not weave sarapes before the arrival of the Spanish in their northwestern Mexican homeland in the 16th century and may have not begun producing them until the 19th century. Their sarapes are clearly inspired by Saltillo-style sarapes made by weavers in other areas of the North American Southwest.
