Neither of the samples contained dibromoindigo, which is found in natural purple dye made from sea snails. The specific dye was not identified. Given these results and the historical date of the huipil, the purple dyes are likely to be modern synthetic colorants.com.gallerysystems.emuseum.core.entities.Classification@aahttps://collections.carlos.emory.edu/objects/25678/rdf
