Solola men’s camisa (shirt).

This post-2000 men’s shirt was tailored from material produced on a foot treadle loom. It features extensive and complex ikat dye patterns in many colors and western styling with zipper closures. The surface decoration is achieved by thin ribbon applique sown on in symmetric designs. Ikat is a process where groups of threads are tie-dyed before they are woven in such a way as to create specific patterns. This fine example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from Sra. Paulina Ramos of Solola in Panajachel. Width at shoulders – 44 cm, length – 66 cm, sleeves – 55 cm. (23-42) $ 175 or best offer.
