This image shows a quexquémitl, a deeply important garment in Tenek culture. Embroidered in it we can see elements of The Teenek cosmovision, from the star of fertility to the animals and plants that represent their world. It is also a great example of the use of the 5 colours that Teenek use to decorate their garments.
