Huipil San Juan Comalapa #3

Woman's huipil measuring 29.5 inches wide and 24.5 inches long
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 designs. The base fabric is pure white cotton. 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 has not been removed, so that the garment is complete as wron. This is a quite attractive example.

Measurements: 29.5 inches wide, and 24.5 inches shoulder to hem.

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