Abstract
La iconografía mazahua en textiles tradicionales representa una rica herencia cultural en México que se ha transmitido a lo largo de generaciones. Los textiles, elaborados en dos municipios del Estado de México (San Felipe del Progreso y El Oro), reflejan la identidad y cosmovisión de la comunidad mazahua a través de sus patrones y diseños únicos. Entre 1970 y 2013, se ha documentado una variedad de motivos que incluyen elementos de la naturaleza, figuras geométricas y símbolos espirituales. Estos diseños no solo embellecen las prendas, sino que también cuentan historias y tradiciones ancestrales. La preservación de la iconografía, las técnicas y materiales de los textiles es vital para mantener viva la cultura mazahua, frente a los desafíos de la modernización y la globalización. La investigación que se presenta ayuda a reconocer y valorar la importancia de los conocimientos y técnicas tradicionales y originarias en la construcción de la identidad cultural de los pueblos indígenas de una de las regiones centrales de México.
