Art/Literary - Archaeology | | Spanish term or phrase: costurilla de puntos unidos | De acuerdo al minucioso inventario que se hizo del tesoro enviado por Moctezuma, se mencionan diversas piezas de algodón; ... se describen también otras con unas ruedas negras, que quizá hayan sido las llamadas tenixyo tilmatli, “con ojos por toda la orilla”, mientras que algunas más estaban adornadas con "presecillas".[nota]
NOTA: No sabemos a qué se refiera Cortés cuando habla de "presesillas", ya que de acuerdo al Diccionario de la Lengua Española, Madrid, Real Academia Española, 1956, p. 1063, el término contempla tres sentidos: a) cordón en forma de lazo usado para prender o sostener una prenda, b) especie de lienzo, c) ***cierta costurilla de puntos unidos*** que se pone en los ojales y otras partes para que la tela no se abra. |
