Patzún daily huipil. W 96 x L 110 cm opened. This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two
white cotton/rayon blend base panels. This combination of fabrics is called “aleman” and is prized for its
softness and drape. The panels are joined by hand embroidered decorative seams. This huipil is unusual in that the
base is primarily white instead of red, but with multicolored vertical stripes typical of Patzún. It features
extensive hand embroidered decoration in the floral motif centered around the collar. The head and arm openings are
trimmed with black crochet. This huipil is excellent condition. It was acquired from Juana Escalon of Patzun at
the “bomberos” market in Panajachel. (11-100) $ 100. Sold.
