or virgin. The Zapotec women of the Isthmus wear elaborately hand
embroidered skirts and huipiles (short tunics) with oversized flowers
that fill every inch of cloth. The women’s heavy gold necklaces and
earrings made of solid gold centenario coins are a show of wealth and
prestige. A faux braid wrapped with brightly colored ribbons crowns her
outfit.
