About
This blouse front is made of fine piña fiber in plain weave. The panel has an oval neck opening and is embroidered with repeated vertical floral motifs arranged in pairs on each side of the opening. The edges are unfinished, indicating that it was intended to be sewn into a complete baro-camisa garment.
