Santa Maria Nebaj daily huipil.

This circa-2000 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two white cotton blend base panels (“aleman”). These panels are decorated with dense supplementary brocade featuring animal, bird and geometric motifs typical of Nebaj weavings. As here, these designs become continuous on more recent examples. The traditional collar design is hand embroidered. This fine example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Sra. Carmen Tepeú of San Pedro Sacatepequez (G). W 72 x L 58 cm. (21-25) $ 160 or best offer.
