Maya Woman at the Loom Maya Cedar Wood Sculpture of a Woman Weaving

Nicolas Chavez Sojuel

A Maya woman sits with legs crossed as she works on a backstrap loom. Rocking back and forth she controls the tension as she creates an expanse of cloth. "This movement represented the human heartbeat, thus weaving was a sacred act for the ancient Maya, and weavers were considered the 'mothers of creation,'" Nicolas Chavez Sojuel explains. He works in fragrant cedar wood to depict his subject as realistically as did the pre-Hispanic ceramists of Jaina Island more than a thousand years ago in their "Female Figure with Loom."

Love my 'Laughing Moche Head'

Señor Acosta, your ceramic work is outstanding. A year or so ago, I bought your Bird hunting Fish ceramic, and told you I love it, but never found the place to review it. Now I have added your Lauging Moche Head, a replica of a Moche ceramic I've seen photos of in the Metropolitan Museum, and your replica is absolutely perfect. Every one of the visitors to my home gets to see your wonderful work, and hear some things about the Moche. Thank you so much . Marsha
