Comments:Text from Corrigan 2001: 61: taijiang county, qiandongnan prefecture. T-Shaped Baby-Carrier. The top of the T is extended on either side by bands that tie around the child’s bottom and are secured at the woman’s waist. The base cloth is a hand-woven indigo-dyed cotton cloth, which shows no sign of use. The main decorated panel is embroidered in counted work and has probably been remounted.
