    Description

    Here is the third of three circa 1980 San Lucas Toliman cotton huipils I acquired in the mid-1980s from a friend who went to the source. All are in fabulous condition and were recently dry cleaned (tag is attached). I will be happy to combine shipping.
    This purple one measures 25" wide by 25" long. I was unable to capture rich regal true purple colour, but it is NOT blue, as these photos suggest. The elaborate embroidery is vivid and intact. The intact neck and armhole trims include metallic threads. Of special note is the embroidered quirky upside-down llama in the lower left quadrant in the main photo.
    All questions will be quickly and cheerfully answered. Thank you for looking at my listings.
