    Description

    THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE HUIPILE OR BLOUSE MADE BY AN INDIGENOUS GUATEMALAN LADY ( A DESCENDANT OF THE MAYA)
    FROM THE CHICHICASTENANGO REGION.
    IT IS  IN GOOD CONDITION- MULTI COLORED ON A BLACK BASE  AND COVERED WITH LARGE FLOWERS.
    THERE IS A ONE INCH OPENING ON THE  LEFT SIDE OF THE NECK TO ENLARGE THE OPENING AND THE  HUIPILE SIDES ARE STITCHED TOGETHER, OLD STYLE.
    PLEASE ZOOM IN TO SEE  THE DETAIL CLOSELY.
    THIS LOVELY HANDMADE GARMENT IS OLD STYLE WITH THE  (WORN) ORIGINAL VELVET NECKLINE AND DESIGNS THAT EMANATE OUTWARDS, WITH A FLECK OF SILVER.
    MEASURING FROM ONE ARM OPENING, GOING ACROSS THE BACK TO THE OTHER ARM OPENING IS 35 1/2".
    VERTICALLY, FROM THE TOP OF THE SHOULDER TO THE BASE IS 23 1/2".
    THE  GARMENT WEIGHT IS A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN USUAL DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF EMBROIDERY BUT SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH- ALL COTTON.
    THE BOTTOM IS NOT COMPLETELY EVEN AS THIS IS ALL HANDWOVEN AND SEWN TOGETHER,
    THE FRONT USUALLY IS A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE IT IS TRADITIONALLY TUCKED INTO THE CORTE OR SKIRT.
    THIS IS A LOVELY PIECE OF VINTAGE GUATEMALAN WEAVING IN BEAUTIFUL  WARM COLORS- A TRUE REFLECTION OF GUATEMALAN SKILL IN WEAVING WITH BEAUTIFUL COLOR AND DESIGN.
    PRICE REDUCED.
