This fine post-1980 ceremonial huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two wide white cotton panels. These panels are joined by hand embroidered decorative seams. They are heavily decorated with extensive supplementary brocade, mainly in purple. The brocade eatures the sacred cieba tree motif among many others. The head opening is trimmed with a complex hand embroidered collar. All these features are typical of the finest San Pedro Sacatepéquez (G) ceremonial huipils. It is worn outside the skirt, showing the brocade to the hem in the back. San Pedro Sacatepéquez (G) is an important weaving center that influences the styles of several nearby towns. This beautiful example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from the Nim Po’t Collection of Antigua Guatemala. W148 x L128 cm opened. (6-354) Was $ 250. Now $ 200. OBO
