Huipil composed of three handwoven cotton panels in a natural white plain weave ground, stitched together with an integrated red brocade randa. Colorful brocade floral and geometric motifs in blue, green, orange, and red threads are distributed across the front and back, with denser patterning on the upper chest area. Red commercial cotton bands have been added along the seams to define each panel, and the neckline is embellished with decorative hand stitching in orange and yellow. The weave shows the fine texture of handspun cotton, with some signs of wear and mending.Ethnography
