A woman may spend months weaving a single huipil when complex techniques or designs are required. Through the choices of design, material and finishing technique, information can be read about the weaver's birth-place, religious background, social position, weaving skill, and personality. Indigenous women can read the complex encoded messages in each other's huipiles at a glance..
Two panelled Huipil woven on a back strap loom. Each panel is fully brocaded with zoomorphic and geometric patterns.
