This is indigo-dyed cloth featuring extremely fine las-point flowers (fine-point wax resist dyeing), created using the traditional techniques of the Miao people. Made approximately 50 years ago, it represents a level of craftsmanship that is now considered nearly impossible to replicate. The main characteristic of this piece is the **"finest level of wax lines"**, which differs from typical wax resist dyeing. * The lines are extremely fine and consistently maintained. * Almost no bleeding is visible. * The grid-like lines continue without interruption. * The precision is difficult to reproduce even for skilled artisans. This fineness is a level that is almost impossible for current artisans to achieve, and the subtle variations and tension that cannot be replicated by machine printing remain beautifully. The pattern is the Life Flower (a circular pattern symbolizing the sun and the cycle of life), which is cherished by the Miao people. Its meanings are: * Prosperity and growth * The cycle of life * Continuity of family * Protection and prayer This pattern was mainly used on the hems of women's skirts and wrapping cloths, and was made for special occasions, not for everyday use. When framed, it creates a serene and dignified presence, making it ideal for those who appreciate folk crafts, antique textiles, and textile art. Condition: * 50-year-old vintage hand-dyed cloth * Natural wear and tear from aging * The indigo color remains beautiful *Please understand the texture of the antique cloth.* Recommended uses: * Framed interior decoration (suits both Japanese and Western styles) * Folk craft and antique textile collection * Background for exhibitions and photography * Textile research material
