Woman's blouse (Huipil) c. 20th century

This anonymous 20th-century "huipil" (woman's blouse) is a traditional garment from Mexico, made of white cotton with a vibrant red and multicolored embroidered design. The decorative panel at the neckline features intricate floral patterns and is framed by a colorful border. "Huipiles" are a significant part of indigenous Mexican culture, symbolizing heritage and craftsmanship. This specific garment, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the rich textile tradition of Mexico.
