MAGNIFICENT Woven Tapestry Pattern- truly 'Clothing Art'! This type of blouse was beloved and worn constantly by the famous artist Frida Kahlo
Made of 2 panels, a left panel and right panel, sewn together. Panels are hand decorated with hand sewed brocade featuring bird and geometric motifs typical of Nebaj weavings. Colors across the top are meant to symbolize the four cardinal directions.
The weavers [traditional Guatemalan ladies] include symbols and designs that can be read by other Indigenous women to identify their social standing, religious background, personalities, place of birth, etc.
Excellent condition- spotlessly clean, no rips, holes, staining, fading, pulls, odors, or damage.

Extremely elegant and sophisticated
Size Approx. 24" long from top to bottom, 32" wide from sleeve edge to sleeve edge, body of blouse from pit to pit measures 31"
Absolutely straight down the sides. The artist that made this was very careful to finish the piece well, there are no raggedy edges or uneven joins.

Please note the following, dear fellow shopping enthusiasts:
I strive to give you the best service possible. I am not a dealer or professional, just a lifelong collector and enthusiast. I only list items that I think are unique and of good quality. I represent my items as accurately and clearly as I can, and believe it is always better for you to have too much information than not enough! Please ask any questions before offerding, I will happily respond.
Remember, these are vintage items and will have reasonable signs of age and wear which only adds to their personality, appeal and "funky vintage-ness". They are not in their original boxes unless noted. I do not excessively clean items or remove age patina, as I want to leave that option for the buyer.
I will promptly ship your item within 1 business day and post great positive response for you once payment is received.
Go Green! I try to re-use clean, almost-new shipping boxes when possible.
I will gladly combine shipping on multiple items for you.
Thank you for looking
