Nebaj daily huipil.
This post-2000 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two black cotton base panels. The panels are decorated
with supplementary brocade featuring animal, bird and geometric motifs typical of Nebaj weavings organized in weft stripes. The traditional
collar design symbolizing the four cardinal directions is hand embroidered. This fine example is in excellent condition.
It was acquired from Juanita Conos of Chichicastenango at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. W 81 x L 60 cm. (14-20) $ 120. OBO
