Santo Tomás Chichicastenango daily huipil.

This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in 3 white cotton base panels joined by hand-embroidered decorative seams. The surface decoration is primarily supplementary brocade, featuring the double-headed eagle motif. The sunburst collar, unique to Chichicastenango huipils, is hand embroidered and here quite extraordinary. This huipil is in very good condition. It was acquired from Sra. Elena Escalon at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. W 87 x L66 cm. (19-28) $ 165. OBO
