San Antonio Aguas Calientes daily huipil.
W71 x L132 cm opened. This circa-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two very well matched green cotton panels. The unique feature of San Antonio A.C. huipils is the marcador work, here just across the shoulders. This decoration is double supplementary weft brocade, where the design appears equally on both sides. San Antonio A. C. huipils are widely considered the best woven huipils among the Maya of Guatemala and their style influences those of many nearby towns. This fine example primarily features very closely worked geometric designs, a style more typical of older examples. It is in very good condition. It was acquired from Blanca Lopez of San Antonio Aguas Calientes. (7-247) $ 100 *SOLD*
