Santa Maria de Jesus is a Kaqchikel speaking town located on a pass on the upper slopes of Agua volcano in the Deparment of Sacatepéquez. “There are many types of huipiles worn in Santa Maria. The huipil most often identified with Santa Maria is a two-panel backstrap woven daily use huipil that incorporates interlocking diamond figures in a predominately pink or purple bias with a secondary palette of green and blue. The fiesta huipil, now often worn for daily use, was originally hand-embroidered but now is generally machine embroidered by men. It features two facing quetzals surrounded by flower and animal motifs.” (from Centro de Textiles Tradicionales Nim Po’t in Antigua Guatemala, see nimpot.com)
