San Antonio Aguas Calientes daily huipil. W82 x L135 cm opened. This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a
back strap loom in two well-matched dark red cotton panels that are decorated with supplementary brocade. The
collar and arm holes are trimmed in velvet and appliqué. 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. It was acquired from Juana Mateo
Rosales of Panajachel. (9-72) $ 190. OBO
