Mixteca Lifestyle

This is a mortar and pestle. It's called a 'molcajete' and the smaller stone is called the 'tejolote'. They were used to grind corn and other foods. This one belonged to my paternal grandmother. It's made of volcanic rock.
My paternal aunt made this dress. This is traditional Mixteca dress but most of the younger generations wear Western style clothing.
She did all the stitching herself
