Two panelled white Huipil woven on a back strap loom. The huipil is brocaded with geometric, floral and zoomorphic designs: birds and ducks. The background is woven with white cotton. These panels are intercepted by one coloured stripped warp lines which are particular designs on the Comalapa Huipiles. Notice the four selvedge ends for both panels. The v neckline is formed by the union of the two panels and decorated with black ribbon as well as the armholes. All the colours are chemical dyes. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
