San Martin Jilotepeque ceremonial huipil.

(Also used in Sumpango) This huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two well-matched indigo dyed cotton panels that are joined by hand embroidered decorative seams, mainly in silk. The surface decoration is very well woven supplementary brocade to the hem with the plumed serpent and other geometric motifs, much of it in silk. The head and arm openings are trimmed in velvet. Jilotepeque ceremonial huipils on indigo and with silk are increasingly rare. This classic example is in excellent condition. W 91 x L 61 cm. (18-46) $290. OBO
