Colotenango vintage ceremonial huipil.
From the Dr. Richard P. Mandell collection.
This circa 1960 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three
wide red and white warp-striped cotton panels decorated with supplementary brocade featuring the “soumak” technique
of wrapped warp threads in geometric patterns. The head hole and arm holes are trimmed with a hand embroidered
chain stitch. This classic example is in excellent condition. W 120 x L 53 cm. (16-219) $ 450. OBO.
