Palin ceremonial (cofradia) huipil.

This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in a single cotton panel. It is decorated with supplementary brocade featuring the bird, pavo real and plumed serpent motifs. It is very large for a Palin huipil, indicating ceremonial use. Palin ceremonial huipils such as this are increasingly rare. It is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W 93 x W 51 cm. (15-73) $ 150. OBO
