San Martin Jilotepeque Huipil #4

Woman's huipil measuring 32 inches wide and 25 inches long
This post-1980 daily use huipil was hand-woven on a backstrap loom. It is of all cotton and synthetic threads, and of very traditional geometric 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. Two of the lower panel edges are hemmed, and two are nicely selvage-finished. The stitching under the arm-holes, which makes this a usable garment, has been removed.

Measurements: 32 inches wide and 25 inches shoulder to hem.

Condition: Very Good, lightly used, some very slight soil is possible, some loose threads, some slight fading.
