Tube Skirt from Hainan Island - Photo

Tiny tubeskirt from Hainan Island, woven by Li people of the Run subgroup. The skirt is in 3 sections, the top part decorated with warp patterning (along with ikat, one of the oldest techniques in southeast Asia) and the bottom two sections with supplementary weft designs of stylized figures.
