Authentic, hand-dyed wax-resist (batik) and embroidered antique fabric panel, carefully removed from Miao ethnic costumes in Guizhou. The "Huíwén" (key fret) pattern embodies the Miao people's unique prayer and blessing, symbolizing "good fortune continuously circulating in an infinite loop, like the key fret." **Craftsmanship Features** * **Wax-Resist Dyeing (Batik)**: Hand-dyed patterns. * A traditional technique where patterns are drawn on fabric with melted wax, then dyed in indigo. * Removing the wax reveals white patterns, creating variations in tone and a unique handmade aesthetic. * **Huíwén Pattern**: * A geometric pattern, traditionally used to ward off evil, and to pray for prosperity, eternal happiness, continuous good fortune, and the protection of the family. * The combination of circular and continuous lines creates shadows and rhythms unique to hand-dyeing, which cannot be replicated digitally. Material: Antique cotton fabric Production Time: The density of the design was achieved by artisans over several months. Item Characteristics: One-of-a-kind (a pattern unique in the world) In Miao villages, it was believed that the patterns themselves served as amulets, protecting the prosperity of the home, the safety of the family, and the circulation of wealth. Therefore, the Huíwén pattern was not merely decoration, but rather: "Beauty = Vessel of Prayer," "Precision = Strength of Blessing," "Huíwén = Continuous Happiness." These ideas were embodied in the design and dyeing process. **Suggested Uses** * As a design material → For ethnic x modern Japanese style, hotels, traditional Japanese houses, art graphics, etc. * Can be framed for display → In Japanese-style room cabinets, galleries, store fixtures, glass shelves at home, etc. * Ideal as an interior accent (adds a touch of "glamour" to a simple space) ⚠ Important Points This item is a "fabric panel material" removed from clothing, not a belt (waistband). It is not an industrial product or synthetic print, but a material with authentic Miao ancient wax-resist craftsmanship, a one-of-a-kind blessing pattern that cannot be replicated. It is a rare fabric material that appeals to both folk art collectors and designers, usable for interior design and as a design material. Recommended for those who: * Love traditional patterns and folk art fabrics * Are designers/collectors/hotel/traditional Japanese house owners who like a mix of modern Japanese and ethnic styles * Want to elevate the quality of a space with unique materials * Value the background of prayer and the historical value of craftsmanship
