San Juan Comalapa ceremonial (sobre) huipil.
This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap
loom in two well matched blue cotton blend panels, unusual in blue. The surface decoration is supplementary
brocade in horizontal bands of floral and geometric patterns. This beautiful sobre huipil was worn over
the regular huipil on ceremonial occasions such as weddings and cofradia society events. It is in
very good condition and was acquired from
Sra. Milagro Chavez at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. W 94 x L 63 cm. (16-81) $160. OBO
