Quetzaltenango (Xela) Guatemala Woman's Huipil ---  This wide Xela huipil is beautifully brocaded with  unusual figures, diamonds and other geometric patterns on a floor loom.  The two randa stripes down the front are are finely embroidered and typical of Quetzaltenago Huipils.  Neckline has been nicely finished with a colorful embroidery stitch.  Base material is cotton and likely some other mixed threads. I am not sure if it is woven in Xela or another village for finishing and use in Xela.

Condition:  Good used condition.  The huipil shows light wear, a few loose threads and light even graying.  Sides seams open (could be easily sown closed). Panels are hemmed.
