Miao tribe embroidery has high artistic value and enjoys good fame worldwide. Miao ladies learn batik and embroidery since the age of six and spend months and years to hand embroider their own festival jackets, baby carriers, aprons and wedding dresses. They know as much as 14 different hand stitching techniques and good at using colorful silk threads to make stunning effect. They incorporate gold paper cutouts, metal sequins, batik and woven pieces, making the embroidery exceptionally rich in patterns and textures.
Tribal Heritage Worth Preserving
Most antique textile pieces are decorated with flowers, birds and animals from the surrounding landscape - anthropomorphic and zoomorphic images that are often abstracted. Also, traditional auspicious designs are often found, along with patterns that are completely geometric. As increasing number of Miao ladies move from villages to cities, this exquisite textile art is diminishing, and collectors and museums from around the world are working hard to collect and preserve them.

Item #: GZMICX195 Measurements: 56cm x 99cm Weight: 880g
Item Brief: Embroidered baby carrier. Seed stitch on silk satin with horsetail couching. Copper sequins ornaments. Silk satin stitch on border. It is rare to see a baby carrier is almost all embroidered even on the straps. This piece is truly an antique for at least 50 years. It is precious for the exquisite stitch and amount of horsetail used for the couching. The character of “happiness” is intricately entailed in the embroidery in the top panel. The picture just can’t capture the magnificence of this antique. It is well kept and in good condition.
