Almolonga daily huipil. .

This post-2000 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well matched black cotton base panels. “The Almolonga huipil is intricate and solidly brocaded above the waist. The most common design of the 1960s was a vertical zigzag in maroon, purple and orange-gold.” (Altman and West, “Threads of Identity”, p. 121) These panels are decorated with supplementary brocade featuring a variety of geometric designs. The collar is embroidery, added and opened for easier access. This huipil is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Sra. Ana Carolina Ajanel at her tienda in Chichicastenango. W 84 x L 102 cm. (16-74) Was $135. Now $120 OBO.
