Elaborately embroidered costumes and baby carriers, most of which originate with the Miao, Dong, Shui and Zhuang ethnic tribes of the south-western Chinese provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi are decorated with richly coloured, stitched and sewn ornamentations—and sometimes silver applications—indigenous to the particular culture and long-lived traditions they derive from. As some ethnic minorities lack a written script, the symbolism and colour-coding found in their textiles form a visual language that presents an important cultural and anthropological development and heritage still in practice today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Misc","offer_id":45268672151703,"sku":"9789881902269","price":2461.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789881902269.webp?v=1769236363","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/embroidered-identities-ornately-decora-9789881902269","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
