San Juan Atitan daily huipil.

This circa-1980 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. San Juan Atitán women weave while standing. Their huipils are large and long. The hand and arm openings are trimmed with hand embroidery. This huipil is in very good condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua Guatemala. W 108 x L 85 cm. (15-96) $ 130. OBO
