San Pedro Necta daily huipil. W72 x L108 cm opened. This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap
loom in one cotton panel. This panel is decorated with supplementary brocade in chevrons and geometric patterns.
The warp of this panel runs horizontally when worn and is partially closed along one side to allow a head opening.
This construction is unique to San Pedro Necta huipils. The arm and neck openings and the upper seam are finished
with hand embroidered chain stitch. This relatively large example is in excellent condition. It was collected
from Ana Carolina Ajanel of Chichicastenango. (9-109) $ 90. SOLD.
