A woman may spend months weaving a single huipil when complex techniques or designs are required. Through the choices of design, material and finishing technique, information can be read about the weaver's birth-place, religious background, social position, weaving skill, and personality. Indigenous women can read the complex encoded messages in each other's huipiles at a glance..
This San Juan Cotzal Guatemala Hupil is traditional and has a smaller pattern than other huipils from the Ixil Triangle, this is mroe typical because it was located on a white BASE fabric.
