Woman's blouse (Huipil) c. 1990

This brightly colored *huipil*, a traditional blouse worn by Mayan women, is a striking example of intricate textile art from the late 20th century. The *huipil* features a black background with a complex and vibrant design of repeating geometric patterns, stylized animal figures, and floral motifs. The piece is made of hand-woven cotton and is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Mayan weavers. This particular piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
