Answer:

In Guatemala, to wear a huipil is to represent millennia of Maya history. ... Weavers like Xivir make each huipil with a backstrap loom, the tool used to weave fabrics since the height of the Maya civilization. Ixchel, the moon goddess and patron of weaving, is often depicted with it tied around her waist
