Description Color photograph of donor holding traditional Chiapas cups and vases. "The items I am holding are the morral, made of ixtle plant fibers. It was given to me by my mother Rosvita. It is a remembrance of my father. It represents his resistance and resilient narratives and ways of living. The other two items in the picture are the pumpo, or gore, and the jicara in which my dad carried water and pozol, which is a drink made from cacao and corn. It was something he would take when he traveled by foot with his father."
