Momostenango daily huipil.

This post-2000 huipil was hand woven on a foot treadle loom in one wide cotton panel, characteristically red above and green below. The Momostenango style huipil involves the creation of diamond patterns by the juxtaposition of ikat dyed weft striples. This technique is unique to Momostenango. This very fine example is classic in every respect. Quality Momostenango huipils are now hard to find. This example is in excellent condition. From Ema and Carmen Tepeú at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. W 89 x L 75 cm. (15-235) $ 120. OBO
