Onderwerp: [Aztlan] Pre-Columbian and Comtemporary Mexican dress

Hi,
 
Can anyone recommend me any books that have information on traditional dress
worn by native people in Mexico.  It would be great if it could include
those worn by the pre and post conquest periods are fine. Thanks for your
help.
 
Gabriela Rodriguez
