The huipil has 3 panels and the base color is a dark blue contrasts well with the various blues of the brocade.  Neck and arm holes are finely finished with crochet work in a sort of sun design. 

Condition:  Good used condition.  The huipil shows light wear and a few loose threads. Sides seams open (could be easily sewn closed).  Half of the panels are fringed others are selvage finished. . As with many Santa Catarina Palopo huipils, there is some uneveness to the length of the panels.  It could be hemmed to a even length, if desired.
