Bustard (quechquemitl)
1952
Base fabric: linen weave with chain effect. Two woven strips joined together to form a garment covering the shoulders and the upper part of the chest. Each strip is decorated with woolen embroidery in the colours red, pink, green and orange. The decoration consists of two large flower-like motifs. The embroidery is carried out in such a way that it creates 1 cm high loops, possibly to imitate a loop fabric. Around the neck opening and at the bottom the garment is trimmed with a 4 cm wide silk ribbon.
