San Pedro Necta daily huipil.

This circa-1980 huipil was hand woven on a back strap loom in one cotton warp-striped panel. This panel is decorated with rows of supplementary weft brocade in bird and floral motifs. Necta huipils are constructed so that the warp runs horizontally when worn. They are 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 trimmed with hand embroidered chain stitch . This exceptional example is in very good condition. It was acquired from Sra. Petronila Mendez Bocó at her stall in the Mercado des Artesanos in Antigua. W 69 x L 46 cm. (15-236) Was $150. Now $125 or best offer.
