Istmeña Mug Doll

Juchitán de Zaragoza, an indigenous municipality located in the southeastern part of Oaxaca, is an urban population rich in Zapotec history/culture, where the Zapotec language predominates. Here the making of the Istmeña woman's costume is done, where you can usually see women wearing this garment. Previously, pumpkin dolls wearing this garment were made for girls; over time they were made of clay, wood and rags. At Kuppani we made our ceramic version, wearing the iconic Istmeño costume.
