Chuarrancho is neighbor of San Pedro Sacatepequez and San Raymundo; from which took the similarity on its textiles’ patterns. A special and small Virgin’s Huipil woven on a back strap loom with four selvedge ends. The piece is brocaded with zoomorphic patterns, representing turkeys, birds and feather serpent. Both panels are joined with a fine cotton randa (joining band). The round neck is cut out and embroidered with cotton in the Chuarrancho characteristic.
