Palin daily huipil.
This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in a single white cotton base panel
that typically is red on its outer edges. This panel is decorated with supplementary brocade featuring the central
motif of the double-headed eagle surrounded by plant and universal diamond motifs. Palin huipils are increasingly
uncommon. This classic example is relatively large and in excellent condition.
It was acquired from Elena Escalon at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. W 78 x L 45 cm. (19-53) $ 125. OBO
