Contemporary Guatemala Maya Huipil Xela Quetzaltenango FREE SHIPPING

Description

This  post-2000 daily use huipil was hand-woven. The foundation material is plain white cotton thread. The designs were all added during the weaving process using supplemental weft brocading. These decorations are very traditional and are of mixed cotton and synthetic thread.  The garment consists of a single wide panel. Both lower edges are nicely hemmed. Original adornment around the arm- and head-holes is retained, but the stitching under the arm-holes has been removed.
Measurements: 30 inches wide at the shoulders, 32 inches wide at the base, and 25 inches shoulder to hem.
Condition: Very Good, lightly used, some very slight soil is possible, some loose threads.
