This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three red and white striped cotton base panels. The center panel is wider and more heavily decorated. These base panels are joined by hand embroidered decorative seams. The decoration features supplemental brocade on all panels in patterns typical of San Ildefonso. The decoration around the collar is hand embroidered and partially in rayon which mimics silk. Ceremonial huipils from San Ildefonse are rare. This fine example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Ana Carolina Ajanel of Chichicastenango. W97 x L108 cm opened. (9-80) $ 150. OBO
