Stone carving, from miniature pieces to monumental ones, was one of the greatest artistic expressions of the ancient Maya. Today, artisans keep this technique alive by using stones such as Maya cream, representative of the Yucatan Peninsula, with which they create unique pieces with unparalleled finishes. The weaving of jipijapa, a plant native to tropical areas of the American continent, began to appear in Campeche around the year 1800. Artisans collect the jipi to prepare its fibers to obtain different thicknesses. This fiber is woven in a humid environment and the process depends on the fineness of the weave, which can take from a week to a month.
