The tapestry Cuentos Tejidos, Dancing Jaguar with Cacao Tree depicts a woman pleasuring herself on the back of a unicorn. She is surrounded by a host of animal figures, among others the jaguar who represents both masculine and feminine traits and the coyote who is associated with trickster myths and smuggling immigrants across the border.
A lush fabric teeming with plant-life provides that backdrop for a dreamlike embroidery that depicts a self-portrait of the artist staring at a crocodile. In Mayan folklore, life was created on the back of a crocodile.
