El Tiempo

Handwoven sarape in deep cochineal red, dyed with successive dips to achieve a rich, saturated ground. A row of diamond medallions in teal, white, and pink anchors the upper field, while layered bands of geometric patterning and crimson stripe work move toward a long, twisted fringe at the hem. Woven on a pedal loom in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Design and dye work by Ignacio Netzahualcoyotl, 2021 winner of the Grand Prize for Mexican Traditional Patrimony. Woven by Marlen Reyes Andrade.

Exhibited in Flowers Keep No Secrets at Heritage by Hand for Indian Market 2026, Santa Fe.
