Saint's Huipil 1925 - 1930

This "Saint's Huipil" is a brightly colored, hand-woven garment from the early 20th century, created by the Maya people. It's a striking example of traditional Mayan textile art, featuring a red background with alternating stripes of brown and purple, and stylized animal figures woven in yellow and grey. The huipil, a blouse-like garment, was a common piece of clothing for women in Mayan culture. This particular huipil is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, showcasing the artistry and cultural significance of Mayan textile traditions.
