San Antonio Aguas Calientes huipil. Hand woven on a back strap loom
in two cotton panels. The surface decoration is brocade, with double
supplementary weft brocade producing the floral and bird motifs on
both sides. This is the only village that utilizes this difficult
technique known as “marcador” and its huipils are widely prestigious.
This very fine example is in excellent condition. Acquired from
Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Mercado de Artesanos in Antigua.
79 x 132 cm. (12-145) $ 280.
