Zunil classic daily huipil.
This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in two warp-striped white cotton blend panels with shadow weaving in weft stripes.
These panels are joined by a multi-colored, hand embroidered decorative seams. This huipil is faithfully done in a traditional style and colors.
The collar is trimmed with velvet. Zunil huipils are now rare without a heavy yoke of machine embroidery. This classic example is in very good condition.
It was acquired from Sra. Rose Hernandez at her tienda in the Mercado de Artesanos in Antigua. W 80 x L 97 cm. (19-169) $ 120 or best offer.
