Santiago Atitlán daily huipil. W82 x L160 cm opened. This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap
loom in two well balanced white cotton panels with narrow maroon warp stripes. These panels are decorated with
both supplementary brocade (the grid) and hand embroidery (the figures inside the grid). The birds and plants
around the head opening are also hand embroidered. This huipil is stylistically eclectic. The large birds outside
the grid are a modern feature. The more geometric figures inside the grid are a traditional design. This unique
example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Miguel Angel and Concepcion Mendoza of Santiago Atitlán.
(9-132) $ 190.
