Coban
--- Coban's
Huipil' s often are hand-embroidered with rows of small design
geometric and floral elements in a variety of colors around the neck and
arm openings. The traditional cloth was hand-woven open woven
material sometime referred to as "gauze-like". Some are
still made of this cloth and may or may not be embroidered. Most Coban
huipils today are hand-embroidered on commercial cotton cloth of various
quality and some on a fine shiny or patterned polyester cloth. Women from
many parts of Guatemala wear a "Coban-like" huipil on hotter
days. The huipil's cloth is cooler than the heavy woven materials of other
areas of the Highland of Guatemala. Coban's huipils neck openings
are also larger than many other huipils.
