Colorful Mexican textiles in the state of Guerrero
Mexico, a country with a wonderful blend of European (mainly Spanish) and indigenous cultures, is famous for its beautiful ceramics (cerámicas) and weavings (tejidos). Most of these ceramics and weavings have indigenous themes. You are probably already aware of some well-known examples, such as piñatas and serapes.
The textiles pictured are from Taxco, a lovely colonial town in the state of Guerrero, which is considered to be the silver capital of Mexico.
