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.
