This is a **baby carrier (back carrier)** from the Zhuang (Zhuang) ethnic group. The square in the center is hand-woven brocade. The intricate patterns are densely packed, and you can see the calm luster and layers of time unique to old cloth. This cloth contains not just "decoration," but probably a prayer. The maker's blessing, symbols passed down from ancestors, and the totem of a story. It feels less like a product and more like a source of spiritual support. Which embroidery (pattern) has protected whose loneliness? Which design was a wish to "not be afraid of farewell"? This is a piece that makes you want to contemplate such things. ■ Recommended for: ・Collectors of ethnic costumes/minority textiles ・As research material for weaving and patterns ・Those who want to display it as interior decor (the "presence" of the cloth is strong) ・Those who want something like a charm ■ Proposal for a small "ritual" (feel free to do as you like) [ ] Brew tea on a lonely night and gently unfold the embroidery [ ] Choose one "protective design" for today [ ] Receive a short "blessing" to accompany the embroidery (can be included) [ ] Treat it like a "cloth storage bag" for lonely days [ ] Make it the first piece to collect "one healing pattern per month" Embroidery is like a friend who quietly stays by your side. I hope it reaches those who feel that way. ■ About the condition Due to the age of the cloth, there are color unevenness, scuffs, and small damages. (Please check the photos. This is for those who can enjoy it as the charm of old cloth) If you have any concerns, I can add more photos or close-ups. Feel free to comment.
