Otomi Hand Embroidered Latte Table Runner Mexico

Hand embroidered traditional Otomí table runner from Tenango de Ario, Hidalgo in Mexico. Bought from a small family business that has passed down the Otomí technique from generation to generation of women.

This Otomí embroidery is an embroidery style created by the Otomi people of central Mexico. The designs are filled with symbols based on native flora and fauna, local beliefs and even primitive cave drawings found in the Hidalgo region where many of the Otomí people reside. Cotton muslin cloth with embroidery of animals, insects, birds and fauna in a latte color. 

This would make a beautiful wall hanging.
