San Juan Comalapa daily huipil.

This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two very well-balanced black cotton blend base panels. The surface decoration is supplementary weft brocade in an exuberant floral design. The collar is trimmed in velvet and opened for easier access. It has traditional finishing patterns at the bottom of the brocade. This huipil is in excellent condition. This beautiful example was acquired from Sra. Maria Isabel Gonzales at the “bomberos” textile market in Panajachel. W 86 x L 64 cm. (16-78) $ 150. OBO
