![2_embidvendor](thumbnails/2_embidvendor.jpg) I found this vendor during the market on Thursday in Xicotepec. She had these embroidered pieces, they are incredible in detail. I will not comment to much on them. They speak for themselves. |
![2_embidvendor1](thumbnails/2_embidvendor1.jpg) The pieces she had, I bought all of them. They seem similar to Chole Sayers Plate 42A in her book Mexican Patterns. She identifies this style as from Huilacapixtla, Puebla. |
