San Antonio Aguas Calientes daily huipil. W 73 x L 109 cm opened. This pre-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a
back strap loom in two well-matched dark red cotton panels. These panels are fully decorated with supplementary
brocade. The unique feature of San Antonio A.C. huipils is the "marcador" decoration, usually in floral and bird
patterns. This decoration is double supplementary weft brocade, with the design appearing equally on both sides.
This type of weaving is only done in this village. San Antonio A. C. huipils are widely considered the best woven
huipils among the Maya of Guatemala and their style influences that of many nearby villages. This fine weaving is
in very good condition, especially considering its age. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the
Artesanos market in Antigua. (See Petronila's picture in our "Vendors" section.) (11-59) $ 250.
