San Rafael Petzal huipil. A rare style. Hand woven on a back strap loom in three panels joined by hand embroidered decorative seams
in the form of butterflies. The center panel is wider and more heavily decorated. The base material is “aleman”, a cotton/rayon blend
prized for its softness and drape. Surface decoration is supplementary brocade featuring bird and universal diamond
motifs. Black crochet trim around the head and arm holes. Excellent condition. Acquired from Sra. Juana Mateo Rosales in Panajachel.
