Hueycuatitla, Vera Cruz is located in the nearby district of Benito Juarez. These pieces were photographed in the weekly market in Chicontepec V.C. Theses colorful flowers are embroidered with synthetic yards, often when the indigenous women make there own blouses they us cotton thread, this takes longer but the finish is tighter. The woman selling the yokes also had finished blouses; these were not intended for the tourist markets but rather for consumption there in the area.
