Santa Lucia Utatlan daily huipil.

This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back-strap loom in two cotton, weft-striped base panels. It may be a wedding huipil as it is quite long and is decorated to the bottom with white on white brocade. The surface decoration is supplementary brocade featuring geometric and bird motifs. Used Utatlan huipis are very rare. This example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at her stall in the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W 95 x L 97 cm. (15-287) $ 290. OBO
