Patzicía daily huipil.
This circa-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two warp-striped dark red base panels. The base panels are "aleman", a blend of cotton
and rayon prized for its softness and drape. The panels are decorated with supplementary brocade in patterns typical to Patzicia, particularly the horizontal
rows of human figures. Patzicia huipils are uncommon. This example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Ema and Carmen Tepeu of San Pedro
Sacatepequez (G) at the La Fuente market in Antigua Guatemala. W 84 x L 51 cm. (10-71) $ 80. OBO
