Miao Chinese ethnic minority baby carrier

This 60 year old baby carrier from Yunnan province uses several fiber art techniques. The top border is all chain stitch with couching outlines. This section is followed by a band of intricately folded triangular bits of fabric. The main body of the piece uses quilted applique technique which is banded on the sides with batiked fabric. All these elements of color and texture work in wonderful harmony. This piece has had obvious use.
