This vibrant vintage Coban daily huipil unfolds a story woven in threads. Hand-crafted on a back-strap loom, the huipil boasts three black cotton base panels that serve as a canvas for a dazzling display of supplementary brocade. Skilled hands meticulously stitched these vibrant designs, tribal motif, universal diamond shapes, and plant motifs. These symbolic figures hold cultural significance within Mayan traditions, offering a glimpse into their worldview.  

While traditionally worn as everyday clothing by Coban Maya women, this vintage Huipil transcends its original purpose. Drape it on your wall for a captivating focal point brimming with global intrigue, wrap yourself in its warmth and tradition as a beautiful shawl, or add a splash of color and cultural heritage to your furniture as a unique throw blanket.
