Hi guys,
I'm trying to recreate a Yuan dynasty outfit for my husband. He's
especially interested in the Mongolian "plaited garment" (pg. 140 of
5000 years of Chinese Costume). Apparently, it has "a broad band made of
plaited threads [...] sewn to the waist." They have a sketch of the
back, I believe, and a picture of a pottery figurine from Jiaozuo, Henan
Province showing the front, sort of.
Does anyone have any more information on this garment? Googling was
spectacularly unsuccessful and I can't find another picture of the
pottery figurine that shows the back.
On a side note, they also have a cute four-sided hat that goes with it,
which I looked at then realized they were the identical shape to our
bedside lamp shades. A trip to the home improvement store is obviously
needed!
Thanks.
--Kathy
