A
close up of a Ba-sa-dung woman weaving one of the narrow bands which
will be sewn together to make her short tubeskirt. It is amazing
that the very complex designs which are created by these Li women are
achieved on such simple looms. The photo comes from the article in the
September 1938 National Geographic by Leonard Clark telling of his 5-week
trek into the interior of Hainan in the summer of 1937. Read Mattiebelle
Gittinger's description of Li weaving. |
