Santa Maria Nebaj daily huipil.

This beautiful post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two purple cotton blend (“aleman”) base panels. These panels are heavily decorated with finely woven and complex supplementary brocade featuring animal, bird and geometric motifs typical of Nebaj weavings. The traditional collar design is hand embroidered. This fine example is in very good condition. It was acquired at the tienda of a young couple whose name I don’t know in the Chichicastenango market. W 72 x L 63 cm. (19-143) $ 225 or best offer.
