    Description

    Beautiful unfinished daily huipil from Tactic or Tamahu , Guatemala. Probably from the third or fourth quarter of the 20
    th
    century
    .
    All cotton. Supplementary wefts that create geometric motifs. It must have been sold to support a charity. There is a tag inside that says,“Sociedad Protectora del Nino,” which is still in existence. This huipil was probably made for a juvenile girl as the size is small.
    In very good condition. Probably never used. See photographs, which were taken outdoors without a flash on a sunny day. If you would like more photographs, please message me. Please see the other Guatemalan textiles that I have listed.
    Size:
    28-1/2” wide average x 13-1/4” long average, which
    could be 26-1/2”, if the side seams were opened.
