A bold and vivid textile masterpiece, this long skirt features stunning handwoven embroidery from one of southwest China’s mountain ethnic groups. The upper section is rendered in deep indigo and black cotton, transitioning into a visually striking lower body richly decorated with intricate geometric motifs in red, green, white, and orange.

The embroidery is laid out in horizontal bands: diamond lattice patterns alternate with symbolic "sheaf" or "arrowhead" motifs — likely evoking themes of rice harvest, protection, or clan identity. Each color and stitch placement speaks to regional visual language and generations of inherited weaving technique.
