Nahuala Woman's Huipil --- Maria told me this daily use huipil was is around 15+ years old and was made by her grandaughter, Magelina. She called the bird "lorito" (small parrot) and also pointed out the "estrella" (star) design in the brocade across the shoulder.
Condition: Fair to Good . Significant bleeding (click on pictures for closeup). Otherwise in generally good condition with moderate wear. Significant bleeding of color and some other spotting. Two selvages fine, others with some openness. Moderate wear and a few loose threads. Good condition if bleeding doesn't bother you, if it does, I'd call it fair. Two complete selvages, others worn.
Purchased from Maria in 2013. Made by made by her grandaughter, Magelina. Maria told me the huipil was around 15 years when I purchased it.
