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. 77 x 130 cm. (12-146) $ 270.
