This hand woven cotton huipil was made for sale by a Mixtec weaver from Jamiltepec, Oaxaca.

This huipil is made from two lienzos or webs of woven cloth, and the cloth with its brocaded designs resembles a Jamiltepec wrap skirt.

The quechquemitl is an ancient Mexican garment. It's a type of cape that can be worn with the points facing a woman's front and back or with the points over the woman's elbows. Today, the quechquemitl is worn in some indigenous communities in central and northeastern Mexico (as well as among the Huichol of northwest Mexico).

This quechquemitl comes from San Francisco Atotonilco (formerly Chapantla) in the state of Hidalgo. The people of this community are Nahuatl speakers.
