This item is out of stock

This post-1980 daily use huipil was hand-woven on a backstrap loom. It is of mixed cotton and synthetic threads, and of very traditional geometric and animal designs. The designs were all added during the weaving process using supplemental weft brocading, and they are very nicely done. It consists of two panels, seemed down the center. The rows of designs in the two panels match quite well. All four of the lower panel edges are selvage-finished. Original adornment around the head-hole is retained. The stitching under the arm-holes, which makes this a usable garment, has been removed.

Measurements: 32 inches wide across the shoulders, 36 inches wide at the bottom, and 24 inches shoulder to hem.

Condition: Excellent, lightly used, some very slight soil is possible, some loose threads.
