San Juan Cotzal ceremonial huipil.
This large post-1980 ceremonial huipil was hand woven
on a back strap loom in 3 white cotton panels decorated with supplementary brocade featuring bird, plant and
geometric motifs. The traditional collar design is hand embroidered with four points representing the cardinal
irections. The thread used in the base of the center panel is hand spun. This fine example is in like new
condition. Although stylistically correct, it appears unused and, hence, a copy. It was acquired from Manuel
Guarcas y Guarcas at the Chichicastenango market. W 112 x L 210 cm opened. (11-36) $ 300. OBO
