San Juan Atitán daily huipil.
This post-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 head and arm openings are trimmed with hand embroidery.
This huipil is in very good condition. It was acquired from Sra. Estefana Culajah at the La Fuente textile market in
Antigua Guatemala. W 99 x L 87 cm. (17-32) $ 120. OBO
