“Mexican samplers (dechados de Mexico) are generally more elongated than their Spanish counterparts. They were frequently haphazard in structure, often unfinished and were rarely ever intended to be framed for display……….

……. Early Mexican samplers featured pre-conquest motifs such as Gods, toads, snakes and birds along with traditional scroll patterns and diamond shapes. During the 19th century, the arrival into the country of pattern books and Berlin patterns, resulted in the use of non-ethnic descriptions such as lions.”
