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

Originally crafted as a special occasion shawl, this versatile piece transcends its traditional purpose. Drape it over your table for a stunning runner, or hang it on your wall for a captivating focal point. Please note, runner is old and shows stains and other imperfections.
