San Pedro Sacatepéquez (G) ceremonial huipil.
W134 x L138 cm opened. This fine post-1980 ceremonial huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two very wide white cotton panels. These panels are joined
by hand embroidered decorative seams. They are heavily decorated with extensive supplementary brocade, mainly in purple. Some of this brocade is in silk.
The brocade features the sacred cieba tree motif among many others. The head hole 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 out, 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. It is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Ema and Carmen Tepeu of
San Pedro Sacatepéquez (G). (6-355) $ 640.
SOLD.
