This "Woman's Blouse (Huipil)" is a traditional garment worn by Mayan women in Guatemala. Dating back to the 1960s, the huipil showcases a vibrant and intricate embroidery pattern of geometric shapes and stylized floral motifs in a rich palette of colors. The neckline features a contrasting band of vibrant red, pink, and green floral embroidery, adding another layer of visual interest. The huipil, a symbol of cultural heritage and craftsmanship, is a testament to the enduring traditions of Mayan weaving and textile arts.
