The “Eye of God”, flower vases and Quetzals are the main subject of the brocade decoration. The neckline is cut out, decorated as well as the sleeves with laces and a machine made yellow flower ribbon. Along with the brocade, four applied satin ribbons “rocetones” decorate the huipil; made of different colored ribbons. These designs represent the four phases of the moon.
