Embroidered Placemat Sized Otomi Textile, DEER, Mexican Folk Art, Tenango Mexico

Description

Frame this to brighten up a wall or use it for table décor. If using as table décor, my recommendation would be to use in a similar manner as table runners and plate chargers – as decorative table elements, not meant to come in direct contact with food.
This is a beautifully embroidered (100% by hand) decorative textile.
Dimensions: approx. 17.5" wide x 11.5" high (note: these pieces are not perfectly rectangular. The embroidery process pinches the fabric in, creating a slight hourglass shape... the piece is a bit more narrow in the middle)
100% cotton muslin
Machine sewn hem.
Hand-wash or machine wash on gentle cycle (in a hosiery bag).
Ethically purchased (the embroiderer and I work as partners). We both use the proceeds to help pay for our children’s education.
This style of embroidery comes from several towns in the southern part of central Mexico. The largest of these towns is named Tenango de Doria, and at some point, the embroidery itself became known as “Tenangos”. It’s also known as “Otomi” embroidery… The Otomi are the indigenous people of this geographical area.
