Santiago Atitlán huipil.
This very fine daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom
in two violet cotton base panels with maroon warp stripes. The surface decoration is all hand embroidered. In
this modern example, the horizontal element of the traditional background grid has disappeared and the embroidered
birds, butterflies and flowers are not structured by the background. This high quality example is in very good
condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendoza Ruiz of Santiago Atitlán. W 85 x L 131 cm opened. (11-104) $ 290. OBO
