These panels are densely covered with rows of supplementary brocade in several different colors. Typical Coban
motifs include deer, universal diamonds, and people. Collar trimmed with crochet. Coban huipils are popular
with women throughout the Maya area. This fine example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Ema and
