San Antonio Palopó daily huipil.
San Antonio Palopó daily huipil. This contemporary daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three warp-striped cotton blend base panels. These panels
are joined by very fine hand embroidered decorative seams. The weaving features complex multi-colored warp stripes with very simple ikat dye patterns. San Antonio
Palopó huipils typically do not have supplementary brocade. These huipils are traditionally worn with multiple strands of gold beads. The collar is decorated by
hand embroidery. This example is in like new condition. It acquired from Sofia Monroy Tepeu at the La Fuente market in Antigua Guatemala. W90 x L86 cm. (14-26)
