This circa-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well matched red cotton panels. The most unique feature of San Antonio A.C. huipils is the “marcador” floral motifs, here seen across the shoulders. This decoration is double supplementary weft brocade, where the design appears equally on both sides. This technique is only done in San Antonio A. C. and their huipils are widely considered the best woven huipils among the Maya of Guatemala. Their style influences those of many nearby towns. This classic example features horizontal rows of geometric designs, a style more typical of older examples. It is in very good condition. It was acquired from Ana Carolina Ajanel of Chichicastenango.
