I would like to show
you some souvenirs from Guatemara.
On the left : Peel embroidery
from an ethnic costume.The birds are hummingbird.They are considered
symbols in Central America.
In the middle: Embroidery
on a hand made blouce.It has an image of a medicin man who is
in mothion during a vision.
While he prayed,sprincled
fresh roses around little candles.
On the right : A collage
of bands and barrettes.It is common for people to put the bands
on thier heads or around thier waists.
Now I would like you
to focus on the barrettes. Children who live in an orphanage made
these.
