What is "Popotillo"?

"Popotillo" is the local name for the "millet" plant. The popotillo-on-beeswax technique is an Aztec-origin artistic method distinguished by the use of the adhesive properties of wax to arrange delicate popotillo fibers in various sizes and colors. This technique enables the crafting of vibrant, textured artworks that capture the dynamic essence of this ancient tradition.
