"Vintage Costume Fragment, Hmong Hill Tribe, Thailand\nSize: 27 x 15 cms\nTraditional Hmong embroidery was used as a form of decoration in clothing. Girls learned the art of embroidery from a young age from the female members of their family, also learning designs and patterns that were passed down generationally. As they got older, a girl’s embroidery skills made her more attractive as a potential marriage partner. All Hmong textile art uses symbols to tell stories, many taking a month or more to complete."
