San Antonio Aguas Calientes daily huipil. W77 x L121 cm opened. This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two very well matched white cotton panels that are decorated with brocade. The unique feature of San Antonio A.C. huipils is the "marcador" decoration, here in floral and bird patterns. This decoration is double supplementary weft brocade, where the design appears 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. Examples on a white base are especially prized. This fine example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Ema and Carmen Tepeu of San Pedro Sacatepequez (G). (8-106) $ 180. SOLD.
