The waist loom technique used to create this pillow is an ancient method employed by Mesoamerican cultures. Artisans in Oaxaca and Chiapas continue to use this technique, which involves intertwining threads of various fibers on a wooden loom. The process is labor-intensive and can take up to three days to complete a single pillow, highlighting the dedication and skill of the artisans.
Unfortunately, the rise of machine-made products has threatened the livelihoods of these traditional craftsmen, as they cannot compete with the lower prices of mass-produced items. By choosing the Telayú Wool Carpet Pillow, you are supporting the artisans and preserving their cultural heritage.
Investing in the Telayú Wool Carpet Pillow means bringing a piece of Oaxaca's rich culture into your home. Not only does it serve as a beautiful decorative element, but it also represents a commitment to supporting traditional craftsmanship. Each pillow is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the artisans who create them, making it a meaningful addition to your decor.
