Almolonga daily huipil. This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two black cotton base panels.
“The Almolonga huipil is intricate and solidly brocaded above the waist.” (Altman and West, “Threads of Identity”, p. 121)
This huipil is decorated with supplementary brocade entirely in traditional geometric patterns. The base material below the
brocade is quite long. This very typical Almolonga huipil is in very good condition. It was acquired from Bonifacia Mendez
Bocó of Santa Maria de Jesus in the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua Guatemala. W 86 x L 95 cm. (11-02) $110.
