San Martin Jilotepeque ceremonial huipil.
This pre-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two indigo blue dyed cotton base panels. These panels are joined by “randas”, multi-colored hand
embroidered decorative seams. These panels are covered to the hem with intricate supplementary brocade decoration, much of it in silk. This brocade primarily
features the plumed serpent motif across the chest. Jiolotepeque ceremonial huipils on indigo are rare. This fine example is in very good condition. It
was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Artesanos market in Antigua Guatemala. W 80 x L 58 cm. (12-302) $ 275. OBO
