Woman's Dress with Colored Sleeves
Museum of Ethnic Cultures, Minzu University of China
Beijing, China
This is a Tu (Monguor) woman's robe with brightly striped sleves. The colors of those stripes - red, green, blue, yellow, and white - represent the sun, the grassland, the sky, grain, and milk. As a result, Tu women are known as "the women with rainbow sleeves."
