Almolonga daily huipil.

This circa-2000 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well matched red cotton base panels. These panels are decorated with supplementary brocade in traditional geometric patterns. “The Almolonga huipil is intricate and solidly brocaded above the waist.” (Altman and West, “Threads of Identity”, p. 121) This fine huipil is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Nicolas Mendez Bocó at the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W85 x L176 cm opened. (17-60) $95. OBO
