What is "Popotillo"?

"Popotillo" is the local name given to the "millet" plant. The popotillo technique on beeswax is an artistic form of Aztec origin, distinguished by the use of the adhesive properties of wax to arrange delicate fibers of popotillo in different sizes and colors. This technique allows the creation of vibrant, textured artistic works that capture the dynamic essence of this ancient tradition.
