    DescriptionThis two-paneled huipil features a multi-colored zigzag design across the top juxtaposed with the yellow vertical-line background design typical of the Sololá villages. Small human and animal figures across the upper middle section may be associated with the abstract representations of mountains indicated by the zigzag.
