Wedding blouse (Huipil) from a two-piece set c. 1930s

This white cotton huipil, a traditional blouse worn by Mayan women, is decorated with intricate woven patterns. Dating back to the 1930s, it is a striking example of Maya textile artistry. The garment features a high, ruffled collar and short sleeves, characteristic of traditional Mayan attire. The delicate, repeating patterns, woven into the fabric, are both visually appealing and symbolic of Mayan culture. This huipil is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, showcasing the rich and enduring artistic traditions of the Maya people.
