San Juan Atitán daily huipil. W106 x L158 cm opened. This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap
loom in three primarily red and white warp striped cotton panels. The center panel is wider and more heavily
decorated with supplementary brocade in geometric patterns, most commonly variations of the universal diamond.
The brocade also includes the words “Copa” and “El Peten”. San Juan Atitán women weave while standing. The hand
and arm holes are trimmed with a multi-colored hand embroidery. It is in very good condition. It was acquired
from Petronila Mendez Bocó of Santa Maria de Jesus. (10-112) $ 130
