The rich biodiversity of the state, its variety of climates and the fertility of its soils, produce a great variety of vegetable products that are added to those that we naturally take advantage of in the different ecosystems, giving the opportunity to use them to produce handcrafted articles of different forms, value and use, depending on the region where they are taken advantage of, collected or produced and that we see in the form of furniture, hats, decorative articles and small personal ornaments among many others.
Corn husks are perhaps one of the most recent handicrafts, which are used to create Christmas wreaths, nativity scenes, angels, dolls dressed in regional costumes and a great variety of flowers.
In pre-Hispanic times, chuspata and tule were woven to make baskets and mats, that is, mats on which people slept and in which they wrapped their dead to bury them. With the passing of time the technique has been perfected, the artisans have innovated the form of weaving and diversified the pieces they make, in such a way that we now enjoy furniture and decorative figures of great beauty.
