Needless to say, huipils are so beautiful that today they’re often sold as art pieces, and we purchased this wonderful, brightly colored example at Oaxaca’s Mercado Benito Juárez.

There were …

The huipil has additional significance for the Mayan women of Guatemala, as the woven design can also identify what type of Maya they are and which comm
This is one of only two huipiles on display in the museum attached to the iglesia of Santo Domingo in Oaxaca. I was disappointed that their large textile collection is not on display, only two huipils. This one is a recent huipil from the Chinantec region of San Lucas Ojitlan in northern Oaxaca Mexico
