Huipil Pillow - Pattern 4

This throw-pillow cover is made from a Mayan woman's huipil, or blouse. The surrounding fabric is made from a traditional skirt or corte hand-woven with an ikat design. The pillow comes with an insert (not shown here) and a tag explaining it's origin. This is probably from the town of Almolonga, the embroidery pattern is very intricate and colorful. You can see a bit of the heavily flowered embroidery that would have accented the collar in the top left corner of the pillow. It's one-of-a-kind. When it's gone, it's gone. Size 18" x 18"
