San Pedro Necta daily huipil.
This post-1980 daily huipil was hand woven on a back strap
loom in one cotton warp striped panel. This panel is decorated with supplementary weft brocade in geometric motifs.
Necta huipils are constructed so that the warp runs horizontally when worn and is partially closed along one
side to create a head opening. This construction is unique to San Pedro Necta huipils. The head and arm openings
are finished with hand embroidered buttonhole stitch. This classic example is in excellent condition. It was
acquired from Bonifacia Mendez Bocó at the Artesanos market in Antigua Guatemala. W 62 x L 90 cm opened. (11-85) $ 80. OBO
