    The artistry of the Otomi women is expressed in their vibrantly colored embroidery called tenangos.  The work, with its intricate and elaborate stitches dates as far back as the Aztec Meso American era.  Believed to originate from prehistoric wall paintings,  these pieces with their floral and anim
    Otomi Embroidery-al motifs symbolize man living in harmony with the natural world.
    Today, tenangos, with their primitive yet sophisticated designs, are sought by discerning collectors and designers.  Of note, Hermes, the fashion design house used Otomi designs in a line of upscale silk scarves and handkerchiefs.
