This special sewing box tells us many stories: stories of artistic exchange through the materials and motifs used, stories of life in Mexico through the vignettes that unfold in painted scenes, and stories of hidden secrets that we only discovered while installing the work in LACMA’s exhibition Archive of the World: Art and Imagination in Spanish America, 1500–1800.Known in Spanish as a costurero or almohadilla, this sewing box was created in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, which was one of the main centers for lacquered commodities in Michoacán in the 18th century.
