Woman's blouse (Huipil) c. 1965

This "Woman's Blouse (Huipil)" from c. 1965, crafted by an anonymous Maya artist, is a prime example of traditional Mayan textile art. The huipil, a garment worn by women, showcases the intricate embroidery techniques that are characteristic of Mayan culture. The piece features a white cotton base with vibrant, colorful geometric patterns in red, pink, black, yellow, and blue, meticulously embroidered across the neckline and shoulders. The bold designs and bright hues reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Maya people. The huipil is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
