Mexican INDEPENDENCE 16' Papel Picado Banner (Plastic)

A handmade tira of 10 MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE celebration "papel picado" banners made by Guillermo Morales de La Vega of Mexico City. These banners depict the heroes and scenes of the fight for Independence from Spain; Hidalgo, Morelos and the gang are all here. Guillermo has been making papel picado for over 20 years.  Each banner is 19" wide and 13" tall, making the span of the tira over 16 feet. It comes stringed with loops on the end for hanging. This tira has been cut for the ease of taking the picture. All the banners are on one string. (Sorry about the glare on some of them.)

This tira is made of VERY durable plastic which means you will get many uses out of it. You can even hang it outside and it will not fade or tear. .

Please note that that there is a chance there might be a slight variation from the picture in that a particular figure might be a different color.
