Hearst Museum object titled Skirt, accession number 3-4831, described as Red, white, black and blue for semi-dress wear refajo skirt made by an Aztec woman. "Refajo" skirt woven by a Mexicana (Aztec) woman on a girdle-back loom, in the Mexicano-speaking town Mecayapan. This is an average specimen of a quality usually worn for everyday work around the home. For field work an older, less well made garment would be substituted. The Refajo is the most typical loom work of all of the Indians, Aztec and Popoluca alike, of the Coatzacoalcos area of Southern Veracruz.
