Santa Catarina Palopo huipil.
Stylistically, this huipil is circa-1970. However, it is in like new condition and we
suspect it is a retro piece done in an earlier style of this village where huipil styles have changed radically. This huipil
was hand woven on a back strap loom in three red and white warp-striped cotton base panels. The center panel is wider, more
heavily decorated and has different warp stripes. The panels are decorated with supplementary weft brocade in horizontal rows
featuring plant, bird, people and geometric motifs. This fine example was acquired from Sra. Sophia Monroy Tepeú at the La
Fuente textile market in Antigua.
