Nahuala daily huipil.

This fine post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three white cotton panels decorated with supplementary brocade in cotton and rayon (to mimic silk). This huipil is believed to be ceremonial because of its three panel construction and the well executed double-headed eagle motifs. Such Nahuala huipils are referred to in Quiche as kashlan po’t. This fine example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W 76 x L 73 cm. (15-68) $ 150
