Huitan daily huipil.
This post-2000 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two red cotton panels joined
by embroidered decorative seams. These panels are decorated by very well matched bands of supplementary brocade
featuring plant and bird motifs. The head opening has an embroidered appliqué collar. Traditional textiles in
the Huitan style are rare. This is a fine example in excellent condition. From Maria Pol
of Chichicastenango at the “bomberos” textile market in Panajachel. W 79 x L 81 cm. (15-270) $ 90. OBO
