Santo Tomás Chichicastenango ceremonial huipil.

This beautiful post-2000 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three brown cotton base panels that are joined by hand embroidered decorative seams. These panels are decorated with supplementary brocade, all in silk, in magenta, maroon, red and purple. The center panel is wider and more extensively decorated. The central decorative motif is the “pavo real”. The traditional sunburst collar is hand embroidered in silk over velvet and unique to Chichicastenango huipils. This exceptionally high quality huipil is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Sra. Carmen Tepeú of San Pedro Sacatepequez (G). W 80 x L 65 cm. (21-10) $ 425 or best offer.
