Product Description
Celebrate the beauty of traditional Mayan artistry with this authentic ceremonial huipil from San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala. Handwoven on a traditional backstrap loom, this vintage textile captures the exceptional skill, symbolism, and cultural storytelling that define the weaving heritage of the region.
This huipil is crafted from two finely woven panels, left open at the sides for a flowing, comfortable drape. Its vibrant, colorful patterns are complemented by a beautifully hand-embroidered neckline—a rare and distinctive detail not commonly found in older pieces.
