This gorgeous fan is made of natural jipijapa fiber and Tzalam wood at its handle.

Several Mayan communities in the state of Campeche have been devoted to Jipijapa craftsmanship since 1800, when brothers Sixto and Pedro García introduced the plant to this country: after a long journey through Guatemala, they planted Jipijapas in the henequen-growing hacienda Santa Cruz, in the municipality of Calkiní.

Tzalam wood is also known as Mexican walnut. Once worked with, its texture becomes fine and naturally shiny. Its bark is used to make dyes ranging from light brown with golden hues to dark, reddish-brown.
