Thank you for viewing. This is a traditional upper garment from the **Li people (黎族 - Rī-zoku)**, an ethnic minority living on Hainan Island, China. The garment is primarily made of off-white handwoven fabric, giving it a very quiet and elegant appearance. While the decoration is understated, **tin (錫 - suzu)** metal is used in key areas, highlighting the texture of the material and the beauty of the craftsmanship. ■ Design and Craftsmanship * Uneven texture and unique feel characteristic of handwoven fabric, not machine-woven. * Linear and uncluttered construction. * Tin decorations are believed to have not only ornamental value but also the meaning of purification and protection. This is a garment that avoids excessive decoration, embracing the beauty of the materials and time itself. ■ Rarity and Collectibility There are few surviving Li people's upper garments in good condition like this. It is suitable for: * Wearing * Ethnic costume collections * Folk art and textile research * Exhibitions and interior decoration ■ Condition (Please be sure to check) ※ Due to the age of the garment, there is some wear and tear from use. ※ There are no major tears or fatal damage. ※ The color may differ slightly between the photos and the actual item due to lighting conditions. Please purchase only if you understand vintage fabrics and clothing. This is a one-of-a-kind item and will not be restocked. We hope that the charm of this quiet and powerful handcraftsmanship will be passed on to the next owner.
