About this item

"The weavers of Chiapas work hard, not only to keep making traditional items with traditional techniques, but also to use their centuries-old techniques to create new designs for the world. An example is this set of four blue-grey place mats with white windowpane checks, suitable for any modern home. Woven by hand on a backstrap loom, it comes from the Aid to Artisans organization, which works to help the indigenous people of this state maintain their traditional lifestyles."
