Three panelled Huipil woven on a back strap loom. The brocaded designs on the red central panel represent hummingbirds, candle holders, deer, corn plants, mountains and the chevron designs represent wind. The neckline decoration is applied on top of the woven piece, representing the sun and the four phases of the moon (half moons). Notice the two white side panels, which are sewn to the central panel, making a wider over garment to form a blouse. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
