Santa Catarina Palopó daily huipil.
This post-2000 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three maroon
warp-striped cotton base panels. The center panel is wider and more heavily decorated. The panels are decorated
with dense supplementary weft brocade in horizontal rows featuring universal diamond and other geometric motifs.
It is in excellent condition. This fine modern example was acquired from Romelia Perez of Santa Catarina Palopó
at her tienda on Calle Santander in Panajachel. W 84 x L 77 cm. (15-122) $ 160. OBO
