Models wearing traditional outfits associated with the Jinghpaw Hkahku
group. Both outfits were commissioned by the Green Centre at the Brighton
Museum (UK) which, in 2001, commissioned weavers in Kachin State to make
17 wedding outfits. The photo was taken at the Manau festival ground in
Myitkyina by Htoi Awng 2002 . The man is wearing the new bag shown in
the photo to the left below and with a detail in the photo to the right
below. The new bag was based on an old bag which had been in Gwi Kai Nan's
family for more than four generations. This bag shows similar designs
to those on a 'Bag, Kachin, Jinghpaw Hkahku, northern Kachin State and
Hukawng Valley' which was collected by James Henry Green during the 1920s
and which is illustrated (page 164, Fig. 6.3.1.iv)
in 'Textiles from Burma: Featuring the James Henry Green Collection' and
edited by Elizabeth Dell and Sandra Dudley. See information on the web
on the James
Green Gallery of World Art including a nice outline on James
Green. A Kachin
textiles link on that page gives further information about the project
referred to above to create new (Kachin) textiles. |

discussion on
the origin of this and other similar bags at the bottom of the photogallery
page. |
