decorative seams. The center panel is more heavily decorated with supplementary brocade depicting portal and
bird motifs. Much of the brocade is in silk. The brocade is very finely done. This beautiful example is in
like-new condition. From Ema and Carmen Tepeú of San
Pedro Sacatepequez (G) at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. W 111 X L 80 cm. (15-279) $ 325. OBO
