This is a **baby carrier (backpack carrier/oshiroko)** from the Miao ethnic group. The fabric has a dark indigo, a smoky purple, and a subdued red... Though not flashy, it gives off a quiet presence from within. This "calmness of soft colors" seems to be proof of its age. It has a softened atmosphere that only fabric that has lived through many years can possess. Thinking that it must have supported the backs of many small children, and been near their cries and laughter... it touches my heart. ■ Key Features [ ] Smoky colors unique to old fabrics (suitable for interior design) [ ] Clear traces of hand-woven and hand-sewn work [ ] High value as a material for ethnic textiles/childcare tools [ ] Its appearance is artistic even when displayed as is ■ Recommended for: [ ] Collectors of ethnic textiles and everyday tools [ ] Research and reference purposes (for patterns and structure) [ ] Photography props/spatial design (wall hangings, fabric art) ※ Please consider this item for viewing and reference purposes, as its use as a practical item is not guaranteed. ■ Condition Due to the age of the fabric, there may be scratches, color unevenness, small stains, and signs of re-stitching.
