  ayutla_mazateca_02.JPG - San Bartolo Ayautla is on a newer paved road between Huautla de Jimenez and Jalapa de Diaz, Oaxaca. It is close to the enormous lake Miguel Aleman, formed when two dams were built. The area surrounded by incredible views and canyons because of the location of the road, it is often affected by landslide. Ayautla is a small village with this wonderful paved street going through it. After buying some embroidery, these two women posed for me. These huipil are example of a changing culture, the bands of ribbons are very wide while other huipils in the town wore narrower ribbons. On a trip in 2001, when I arrived, the store owner announced over a loud speaker that I was there to buy huipils and about 10 people showed up with huipils to sell. The huipil shown in the gallery is the one I purchased. What is interesting is that the entire huipil is embroidered, even under the ribbons.
