Zunil daily huipil.
This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two predominantly white
cotton blend, warp-striped panels. This huipil is faithfully done in a traditional style. The head opening is
surrounded by hand embroidered flowers employing the French knot technique. Zunil huipils in the traditional
style, without a heavy yoke of machine embroidery, are now rare. This classic example is in very good condition.
It was acquired from Petronila Mendez Bocó at the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W 87 x L 77 cm.
(15-214) $ 95. OBO
