Frida Kahlo with Rebozo
Mexico / 1937
The rebozo β a powerful symbol of Mexican culture and identity β is a long flat garment worn mainly by Mexican women and worn in various ways, usually folded or wrapped around the shoulders and/or head.
In the Castilian language, βrebozoβ means to cover or protect oneself. Other indigenous names are ciua nequealtlapacholoni in the Nahuatl language and mini-mahua among the Otomi people. It is sometimes called cenzotl, meaning a multi-coloured cloth.
These highly-treasured, decorated shawls play a central part in the China Poblana, the traditional costume adopted by Mexican women. The rebozo represents the journey from birth to death β playing its part as baby carrier and a shroud for the dead, and has many other uses in between.
