Abstract

This paper uses plane pattern symmetries to describe the structural arrangement of motifs in Sikyatki-style patterns on textiles depicted in fourteenth and fifteenth century AD kiva murals from Awat'ovi and Kawaika'a in Arizona and Pottery Mound in New Mexico. The analysis reveals that these textiles have pattern structures in common with designs on textiles, ceramic artifacts, and architectural decorations in the Postclassic Mixteca-Puebla style. These shared patterns and pattern structures were introduced into the American Southwest woven on fabric structures of textiles brought north from Mesoamerica via trade and migration routes along the Mexican West Coast and through the Sierra Madre.

En este artículo se emplean patrones de simetría plana para describir las disposiciones estructurales de motivos del estilo Sikyatki en textiles representados en murales kiva de los siglos catorce y quince dC provenientes de Awat'ovi y Kawaika'a en Arizona y Pottery Mound en Nuevo México. El análisis revela que estos textiles tienen patrones estructurales en común con los diseños de textiles, cerámicas y decoraciones arquitectónicas del estilo posclásico Mixteca-Puebla. Estos patrones compartidos fueron incorporados a los tejidos del suroeste de los Estados Unidos en estructuras de tela de textiles traídos al norte desde Mesoamérica a través de rutas de migración y comercio a lo largo de la Costa Oeste de México y de la Sierra Madre.
