Santa Maria de Jesus daily huipil.
Santa Maria de Jesus huipil, daily style, but likely the owner’s best and thus, used ceremonially. This circa-1980 huipil was hand woven
on a back strap loom in two green cotton base panels. These panels are extensively decorated with supplementary brocade in diamond patterns
characteristic of Santa Maria de Jesus daily huipils, but much of the brocade is in silk, indicating ceremonial use. The head opening is
trimmed in a hand-embroidered buttonhole stitch. This classic example is in very good condition. It was acquired from an important private
collection in Antigua Guatemala. W 77 x L 65 cm. (19-63) $ 125. OBO
