San Juan Comalapa wedding huipil.

This exquisite huipil was hand woven on a back-strap loom in two wide, very well matched, indigo dyed cotton panels. These panels are decorated with horizontal bands of supplementary brocade featuring floral, plant and geometric motifs, much of it in silk. The central element is a band featuring floral motifs. The head opening is trimmed in velvet and there are velvet “lunas”, front and back. This exceptional huipil is in excellent condition. It was acquired from a private collection in Guatemala. W 109 x L 66 cm. (18-39) $ 730. OBO
