San Juan Atitán daily huipil.
This circa-2000 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 excellent condition.
It was acquired from Sra. Sofia Monroy Tepeu of San Pedro Sacatepequez (G) in Antigua. W 96 x L 83 cm. (20-26) $ 120 or best offer.
