Santa Catarina Palopó huipil.

Stylistically, this huipil is circa-1970. However, it is in like new condition and we suspect it is much newer, a retro piece done in an earlier style, in a 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, people and geometric motifs. This fine example was acquired from Sra. Rose Hernandez in Santa Maria de Jesus. W 73 x L 76 cm. (20-09) $ 150 or best offer.
