Vintage Mayan Azul Huipil Runner

This vibrant vintage Coban daily huipil unfolds a story woven in threads. Hand-crafted on a back-strap loom, the huipil boasts black cotton base panels that serve as a canvas for a dazzling display of supplementary brocade in blue, green and purple tones. Skilled hands meticulously stitched these vibrant designs, featuring birds and plant motifs. These symbolic figures hold cultural significance within Mayan traditions, offering a glimpse into their worldview.  

While traditionally worn as everyday clothing by Coban Maya women, this vintage Huipil transcends its original purpose. Drape it on your wall for a captivating focal point brimming with global intrigue, wrap yourself in its warmth and tradition as a beautiful shawl, or add a splash of color and cultural heritage to your table as a colorful runner.
