contemporary wedding huipil was hand embroidered in silk on a base that is foot treadle loomed and dyed with indigo. This huipil and a
few other similar ones were the work of one woman in Totonicapan. They have a close resemblance to a Santa Maria de Jesus festival blouses
but they are otherwise untypical. It is in like new condition. This unique piece was acquired from a private collection in Guatemala.
