El Traje Indigena En Mexico This classic series is hard to find and an absolute joy when you succeed. The 30 colour plates by renowned Mexican artist Teresa Castello Yturbide are superb and all worthy of framing. Here are the famous traditional costumes of the Highland Maya in Chiapas, the Nahua in Puebla,Veracruz and Potosi and selected groups from other areas. With these glorious plates you get a back up book by Carlota Mapelli Mozzi and 41 monochrome photographs and a folio of patterns for tailoring and embroidery. This set offered on Ebay comes with its box which alas is in poor condition and this drawback is the reason for a very good price. Held in Australia postage will be high to US or Europe but the low listing price makes it affordable.
