Isthmus Zapotec niña blusa.

Most likely Tehuanapec or Juchitan, Oaxaca, Mexico. [Note that we are informed that the correct terminology is not “Tehuana” as that leaves out Juchitan and other nearby towns, whose styles are subtly different, but often called “Tehuana” .] Machine embroidery on maroon velvet. Polka-dot lining. Our correspondent at the Oaxaca Textile Museum says, “probably the oldest in this group”. It is in very good condition. Estimated circa-1980. It was acquired from the collection of Yuri Saldyt. W 41 x L 35 cm. (16-143) $ 70. OBO
