Almolonga huipil. (L180 x W 98 cm opened) “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.” (Threads of Identity, p. 121) This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well-matched cotton panels. The supplementary weft brocade features horizontal bands of geometric motifs, particularly interlocking arrowheads and corn plant motifs. The base is solid red, typical for an Almolonga huipil. The collar and arm holes are trimmed in velveteen. This fine huipil is in excellent condition. Collected from Petronila Mendez Bocó of Santa Maria de Jesus. (5-334) $80 *SOLD*
