Description: | The designs seen on all four sides of this object fold with the relief of the form, suggesting that this decoration was applied to sheets of clay before the form was constructed 3-dimensionally. This particular style of design is similar to that seen on 'Hmong' textiles. The 'Hmong' migrated from southern China in the nineteenth century to the mountainous areas of Laos, Vietnam and Thailand and later to the United States. 'Paj ntaub' or 'flower cloth' continues to be produced by Hmong artists and their designs and patterns are derived from natural forms. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft makers ceramics other cultures contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
