Men's trousers with multicolored cross-stitched embroidery at bottom half of both pant legs. Both pant legs share the same human, animal, and design motifs, but the colors representing the human figures on the top register differ in color. Potentially domesticated animals seen with the human figures on the right pant leg, but not on the left. Also on the right, some human figures aren't holding a leash; this is an example of the Huichol's unfinished textile, which symbolizes continuity of life. Green bias hem tape at both leg openings. Drawstring at front opening.Use
