Traditional Cape -
This is a traditional cape worn by both Nuosu men and women. It
was made in Yangjuan village, by a mother of a student at Yangjuan Primary
School. It is a blend of locally produced black
wool, and store-bought black cloth. Imagine how the tassels sway
as you walk along wearing it! Although stitched on an old
treadle sewing machine, the embroidery is all done by hand.
Because there is no embroidery floss available, women take
thread and patiently twine it together until it is the desired
thickness for their work. Dimensions: 27L w/ 21L tassels |
