Tecpan ceremonial huipil.
This circa-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two wide, well-matched, warp-striped cotton panels. The
brown warp stripes are “ixcaco” – hand spun undyed naturally brown cotton. The finely woven surface decoration is supplementary brocade featuring
bird and universal diamond motifs, front and back. Tecpan ceremonial huipils are increasingly rare. This exceptional
example is in excellent condition. It was acquired from an important private collection in Antigua Guatemala. W 126 x L 57 cm. (19-20) $480. OBO
