DescriptionTribal Chinese people have migrated to countries south of China. The Hmong are among those peoples whose culture originated in China, but who are currently residing outside of China. As with the Miao, Hmong textiles are created with great skill and care, and attention is given to details and adornments. Together with the jacket, vest and hat in this donation, this belt comprises a festive ensemble for a Hmong child.
