A back strap loom used to weave belts. My feeling is that the belts are going to disappear soon. When I asked the price of a belt, I was told 1000 pesos or about 100 dollars. This price implies scarcity or just trying to see how much I actually knew. Otomi belts in nearby Atlacomulco have an asking price of 90 pesos. |
