Estudio de la indumentaria indígena mexicana

The clothing of Mexican indigenous origin is characterized primarily by the materials of which it is made, the type of fabric, the icons woven or embroidered therein and the colours applied in its composition. Defining their origin and visual identification based on the icons requires ethnographic, technical and historical knowledge. This work presents the analysis of images (icons) identified in indigenous clothing of the State of Chiapas, Mexico, in the region of the highlands, which corresponds to clothing of Maya prehispanic origin, and is presented the description of a software that implements a stack machine based model that processes strings of operators and icons, in order to generate the iconography of indigenous clothing from its minimal visual expressions of icons. The iconography expressed as strings allows to identify patterns, to develop new designs, to preserve the visual identity of the original indigenous clothing, and to contribute to preserve the Mexican culture.
