Nahualá daily huipil.

This circa-2000 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well-balanced, multi-colored warp striped cotton panels joined by hand embroidered decorative seams. The surface decoration is supplementary brocade featuring dragon motifs. The blue stripes in the base are indigo dyed. This striped base is uncommon in Nahuala huipils, but often seen in their ceremonial tzutes. This fine example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Sra. Ana Carolina Ajanel in Chichicastenango. W 75 x L 65 cm. (21-66) $ 100 or best offer.
