Ixil Highlands Huipil

$350.00

Attributed to the Ixil region (Nebaj)

Everyday huipil, all over brocade. Diamonds are a widely used Maya symbol for the sun's daily path across the sky. The horse motifs and dense diamond field point to the Ixil highlands, where weaving traditions reflect a landscape of ranching and agriculture.
