is wider (33 cm) and more extensively decorated than the side panels (27.5
cm). The central decorative motif on all panels is of highly abstract
double headed eagle designs that are surrounded by and incorporate
variations on plumed serpent and universal diamond designs. The typical
sunburst collar was embroidered chain stitching in cotton. This fine huipil
is in very good condition. Collected from Bonifacia Méndez Bocó of Santa
Maria de Jesus in Antigua Guatemala. (4-302) $80 *SOLD*
