True art and craft combine to make this exquisite, one-of-a-kind, hand embroidered vintage ceremonial huipil. An incredibly rare find, this textile was created in San Mateo, Ixtatlan, located in the western highlands of Guatemala. Its brightly colored, hand-dyed cotton threads are hand embroidered on a double thickness of cotton fabric. This huipil is completely reversible, an indication of its value and rarity. The beautiful artisan hands that created this elaborate textile devoted up to one year to complete this masterpiece.
