"From an Ancient Tradition"
The native term "ayate" describes loose-woven products such as nets, bags, and various cloths from agave or century plant. As part of a living tradition that reaches back over 10000 years, the styles and techniques for these artifacts are as Mesoamerican culture itself.
Cultivated in Mexico, the agave not only inspired the beginnings of agriculture, it was the well-spring of religion. The plant provided both needle and thread, fabric, furniture, baskets, mats, blankets, brushes, bridles, paper, soap, shelter, food, candy, drink, and medicine. Little wonder then that the Aztecs venerated the agave and personi-fied it as the goddess Mayahuel.
From the hands of a native people and heart of a sacred tradition, the quality and value of the ayate has endured and will survive well into the future.
