Santo Domingo Xenacoj cofradia huipil.

This post-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three cotton/rayon blend panels that are joined by hand embroidered decorative seams. This fabric blend is known as “aleman” and is prized for its softness and drape. The center panel is wider and more heavily decorated. The surface decoration is supplementary brocade featuring plumed serpent, plant, animal and bird motifs. Xenacoj cofradia huipils are rare. This example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W 81 x L 57 cm. (15-289) $ 200. OBO
