Santiago Chimaltenango daily huipil.

This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two predominantly red cotton panels covered by a grid of stripes in various colors. The sleeves are of the same material. This base material is decorated with supplementary brocade featuring several complex universal diamond designs. It has traditional collar and cuffs. This tailoring is unique to Santiago Chimaltenango huipils and they are one of only two huipil styles in Guatemala that have sleeves. These huipils are uncommon and this is a fine example. It is in very good condition. This fine example was acquired from Sra. Estefana Culajah at the La Fuente textile market in Antigua. 54 cm shoulders, 58 length, 23 sleeves. (19-72) $ 100. OBO
