Santa Maria Nebaj vintage huipil.
From the Dr. Richard P. Mandell collection.
This exceptional pre-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two wide, white cotton base panels
that are decorated with well matched horizontal bands of complex supplementary brocade featuring animal, bird
and geometric motifs typical of Nebaj weavings, here done with great complexity and weaving artistry. The
traditional collar design symbolizing the four cardinal directions is hand embroidered. This superb example
is in very good condition. W 117 x L 67 cm. (16-213) $ 550. OBO
