Solola ceremonial huipil.

This circa-1980 ceremonial huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in three warp-striped cotton panels. It features simple geometric designs in supplementary brocade, all in silk. The panels are joined by hand-embroidered and multi-colored decorative seams also in silk. The traditional collar design includes a satin rosette centered sun symbol that is hand embroidered in silk. Authentic (used) Solola ceremonial huipils are rare. This fine example is in very good condition. It was acquired from the tienda of Sr. Sebastian Huarcas in the Solola market. W 124 x L 89 cm.
