Through stunning photography, essays by leading scholars, and the direct testimonies of women, men, and muxes from the Isthmus, it captures the extraordinary garments, embroidery traditions, ceremonial dresses, jewelry, and textile craftsmanship preserved in the LE-M Ehun Museoa collection—known among textile scholars and collectors for preserving rare examples of this ceremonial dress, increasingly difficult to find in public museums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThreads of Gold\u003c\/i\u003e explores how Tehuana dress became far more than just regional clothing; it fused pre-Hispanic weaving traditions with Spanish influences in tailoring, lacework, and imported fabrics to become a symbol of feminine power, indigenous pride, social identity, and Mexican cultural heritage. This seemingly simple garment exemplifies a visual language that is, at once, identity and memory, which is why figures such as Frida Kahlo famously adopted Tehuana dress as a statement of identity. At its core, this book tells the story of a people through thread, fabric, metal, ritual, and voice.","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48986611187967,"sku":"9788891847850","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9788891847850","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
