Quetzaltenango

Large colorful huipil with beautiful weaving and striking embroidery! It is from the Quetzaltenango region of Guatemala (Frequently referred to as Xela). This stunning huipil measures 32″ across the shoulders, and 23″ from the neckline to the bottom edges (folded). The neck opening is round and measures 6″ in diameter. The sides are unstitched, but can easily be restitched if desired.

This brilliantly colored huipil is accented with embroidery that features flowers around the neck and down the front and back on a woven background. The detailed embroidery on the collar is roses of pink, orange and red with matching patterns on front and back. One side of the collar features a darling deer. The other side of the collar shows a mayan girl wearing her huipil and corte (skirt). The woven background is full of brilliant colors of yellow/gold, blue, purple with green. Where the three panels join, it is accented with a colorful ‘randa’ of beautiful flowers running down the front on both sides. The sleeves are trimmed with a royal blue velvet accent trim.

This huipil is in very good used condition, with almost no sign of wear.
