San Martin Jilotepeque daily huipil.
This pre-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap
loom in two well-balanced black cotton base panels. These panels are decorated with supplementary brocade featuring

hand crochet appliqué. This example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Maria Guarcas Aigua of
Chichicastenango. W76 x L100 cm opened. (10-140) $ 60. OBO
