Incredible piece of Hmong heritage! Indigo-dyed pleated hemp circle skirt with intricate hand done embroidery. Traditional wrap around skirt with tie closure. The Hmong are a sub-ethnic group of the Miao people who originated in Central China. The reside today mostly in China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. I believe this particular example came from the Sapa district of northern Vietnam. The batik prints and fabric used indicate a 1940s/50s time period. Really incredible, a rare collector's piece. Very sturdy (and heavy!)-- could be worn or displayed as a piece of textile art.
