Santa Apolonia daily huipil.
W81 x L146 cm opened. This post-1980 daily huipil features a commercial manta cotton base. That base is decorated with hand
embroidery, primarily across the back. This embroidery is done to look like brocade. The head and arm holes are intricately
trimmed with hand embroidered designs in multi-colored chain stitching. These huipils are increasingly rare. This very
typical example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Ema and Carmen Tepeu of San Pedro Sacatepequez (G). (8-166)
$ 90. Sold.
