Santiago Atitlan corte (wrap skirt). Hand woven on a foot treadle loom
in two matching cotton panels. Typical of Santiago Atitlán cortes, the
panels are not equal width, with a main panel and a narrow addition.
Apparently, the skirt looms don’t have a weft wide enough for Atiteco
women. This corte features the very fine ikat dye patterns for which
Santiago Atitlan is famous. Excellent condition. Acquired from Josefa
of San Juan La Laguna at the “bomberos” market in Panajachel.
100 x 406 cm. (12-206) $ 90.
