Rare Early 20th Century Chinese Dong Minority Mounted Lacquered Dress

About the Item

A rare and mesmerizing early 20th Chinese Dong minority dress constructed by laying thousands of thin bamboo strips across a cotton ground, lacquering the entire textile with dark indigo and dark red dyes, and then removing the bamboo strips to reveal a raised striped pattern that shimmers in the light. This piece rivals any modern painting! Archivally mounted on an indigo linen stretched canvas and can be hung horizontally or vertically.
