Pinotepa Nacional Huipil. Oaxaca, Mexico.

This is a gorgeous finely handwoven huipil from the Costa Chica of Oaxaca. The huipil is woven of soft hand spun cotton. The brown color is the natural color of the native coyuchi cotton from the region. The beautiful purple color is made from a dye called purpura that comes from a labor intensive method using sea snails. This color is seen less and less now. Huipiles from this region are difficult to come by and this is a fabulous example.

This was purchased from the artisan at asking price.

This one has these measurements:
Chest 33"
Length 27"
