San Martin Jilotepeque vintage ceremonial huipil. W 78 x L 107 cm opened. This circa-1970 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well-matched, indigo dyed cotton base panels. These panels are covered to the hem with intricate supplementary brocade decoration, much of it in silk. This brocade features plumed serpent and other geometric motifs. The head opening is trimmed with thick buttonhole stitch embroidery. Jilotepeque ceremonial huipils are increasingly rare. This classic example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Ema and Carmen Tepeu at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua Guatemala. See Ema and Carmen’s pictures in our “Vendors” section. (11-78) $ 175. OBO
