Coban gauze huipil.
This contemporary huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three white gauze cotton panels. These
panels are decorated with horizontal bands depicting deer in white supplementary brocade. Unembroidered white-on-white Coban
style huipils are considered chic. Coban gauze huipils are popular among Guatemalan women throughout the Maya area, particularly
for wear in warm weather. This fine example is in like new condition. It was acquired from Sra. Carmen Tepeú at the La Fuente
textile market in Antigua.
