Beautiful vintage huipil from San Antonio Aguas Calientes, Sacatepequez, Guatemala. From a the collection of a well-known museum. Collector also known. All provenance will be given to the buyer only. The collector was in Guatemala at various times in the 1930's and 1940's. It was accessioned in 1955. i am dating this huipil to the 1940's, though it may be a bit earlier. Uncommon red cotton base with fine cotton and silk(may be rayon or mercerized cotton) supplementary wefts. Single-faced supplementary wefts, which are typical from earlier huipiles from Aguas Calientes.
Very good condition for age. Possibly never used. Sides not closed. Minor wear. See photographs, which were taken outdoors without a flash on a sunny day.
I do not accept returns, so please ask questions, and if desired, request
more photographs. If you would like more photographs, please message me
