										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Antique Miao Baby Hat 2</strong></p>
<p>Material: Cotton<br />
Style: South China<br />
Size: Height 15 cm, Diameter 14 cm<br />
Order Number: MHSAMBH2</p>
<p>The Miao people are one of China&#8217;s major ethnic groups. They live in southern China mostly in Guizhou province. Miao sub-groups such as the Hmong live in northern Thailand and eastern Burma. The Hmong have 2 major branches, the White Hmong and the Green Hmong.</p>
<p>Many migrated to Laos. By 1850 they were established in the mountains around Luang Prabang. By the end of the 19th century there were several Hmong villages in Thailand. In 1984 there were 245 villages.</p>
<p>During World War II the Chinese tried to stop them speaking their own language or wearing their distinctive dress, but they failed.</p>
<p>Costumes and ornaments are considered by the Miao not only to satisfy the basic needs of life but also as precious works of art that represent the thoughts and efforts of the Maio people. Their clothes are often black but can be colourful and artistic. They have mastered the arts of embroidery and batik.</p>
<p>Miao embroidery employs bold colours – green, red, bright blue, orange,&nbsp; yellow and white, often on a black or&nbsp; blue background.</p>
<p>Mountains, butterflies, flowers and birds from Miao mythology are often embroidered. The Miao believe they are descended from the Butterfly Mother, who laid 12 eggs. One hatched and became the Miao people. The other eggs became the other animals in the world, so that the Miao would not be lonely. Daily village life is also depicted.</p>
<p>From the age of 6 or 7 girls start to learn needlework, weaving and dyeing.&nbsp; Those living near water embroider fish and shrimp designs and those living near mountains embroider flowers and birds. They also used geometric patterns. The designs are&nbsp; delicate and clear cut. The geometric patterns are similar to those of the Yao people and they may have had a common ancestor. Before marriage they are busy making their wedding trousseaux (<em>jiazhuang</em>).</p>
<p>Miao baby hats provide protection from evil spirits, demons, and ghosts. They are also designed to inculcate the baby with happiness, long life, wealth, health, beauty, courage, grace and academic success.</p>
<p>The Chinese words for &#8216;cat&#8217; and &#8216;butterfly&#8217; sound the same as the words for &#8216;octogenarian&#8217; or &#8217;80 year old &#8216; and &#8216;septuagenarian&#8217; or &#8217;70 year old&#8217;, hence cats and butterflies symbolise a wish for longevity.</p>
<p>The butterfly is also a symbol for happiness and 2 butterflies are for marital happiness. It also symbolises summer and joy. They are often shown with poenies, which symbolise prosperity. Colourful butterflies often adorn baby hats.</p>
<p>Baby hats are sometimes decorated with pomegranates. Red pomegranates, with many green seeds inside, have a sweet and sour taste. They came from Mongolia during the Han dynasty (202 BC &#8211; 220 AD). The word for &#8216;seed&#8217; is a hononym for &#8216;child&#8217; (two words with the same pronunciation but different meanings). So, plenty of seeds, plenty of children.</p>
<p>Charms and designs are put on children&#8217;s hats to protect them from evil spirits and harm. Tigers or just their bulging eyes decorated boys&#8217; hats, but not girls&#8217; hats. Sometimes they wore matching tiger shoes. The tiger symbolises courage, dignity and ferocity. The Chinese symbol&nbsp; for tiger is often written on the hat. Stone tigers in front of temples ward off ghosts, thieves and fire.</p>
<p>During Miao holidays they wear their colourful costumes.</p>
<p>Mid 20th century.</p>

The word for &#8216;seed&#8217; is a hononym for &#8216;child&#8217; (two words with the same pronunciation but different meanings). So, plenty of seeds, plenty of children.</p>
<p>Charms and designs are put on children&#8217;s hats to protect them from evil spirits and harm. Tigers or just their bulging eyes decorated boys&#8217; hats, but not girls&#8217; hats. Sometimes they wore matching tiger shoes. The tiger symbolises courage, dignity and ferocity. The Chinese symbol&nbsp; for tiger is often written on the hat. Stone tigers in front of temples ward off ghosts, thieves and fire.</p>
<p>During Miao holidays they wear their colourful costumes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Antique Miao Baby Hat 6</strong></p>
<p>Material: Cotton<br />
Style: Miao, South China<br />
Size: Height 9 cm (front) , 12 cm (back), Width 13 cm, Diameter 8 cm<br />
Order Number: MHSAMBH6</p>
<p>The Miao people are one of China&#8217;s major ethnic groups. They live in southern China mostly in Guizhou province. Miao sub-groups such as the Hmong live in northern Thailand and eastern Burma. The Hmong have 2 major branches, the White Hmong and the Green Hmong.</p>
<p>Many migrated to Laos. By 1850 they were established in the mountains around Luang Prabang. By the end of the 19th century there were several Hmong villages in Thailand. In 1984 there were 245 villages.</p>
<p>During World War II the Chinese tried to stop them speaking their own language or wearing their distinctive dress, but they failed.</p>
<p>Costumes and ornaments are considered by the Miao not only to satisfy the basic needs of life but also as precious works of art that represent the thoughts and efforts of the Maio people. Their clothes are often black but can be colourful and artistic. They have mastered the arts of embroidery and batik.</p>
<p>Miao embroidery employs bold colours – green, red, bright blue, orange,&nbsp; yellow and white, often on a black or&nbsp; blue background.</p>
<p>Mountains, butterflies, flowers and birds from Miao mythology are often embroidered. The Miao believe they are descended from the Butterfly Mother, who laid 12 eggs. One hatched and became the Miao people. The other eggs became the other animals in the world, so that the Miao would not be lonely. Daily village life is also depicted.</p>
<p>From the age of 6 or 7 girls start to learn needlework, weaving and dyeing.&nbsp; Those living near water embroider fish and shrimp designs and those living near mountains embroider flowers and birds. They also used geometric patterns. The designs are&nbsp; delicate and clear cut. The geometric patterns are similar to those of the Yao people and they may have had a common ancestor. Before marriage they are busy making their wedding trousseaux (<em>jiazhuang</em>).</p>
<p>Miao baby hats provide protection from evil spirits, demons, and ghosts. They are also designed to inculcate the baby with happiness, long life, wealth, health, beauty, courage, grace and academic success.</p>
<p>The Chinese words for &#8216;cat&#8217; and &#8216;butterfly&#8217; sound the same as the words for &#8216;octogenarian&#8217; or &#8217;80 year old &#8216; and &#8216;septuagenarian&#8217; or &#8217;70 year old&#8217;, hence cats and butterflies symbolise a wish for longevity.</p>
<p>The butterfly is also a symbol for happiness and 2 butterflies are for marital happiness. It also symbolises summer and joy. They are often shown with poenies, which symbolise prosperity. Colourful butterflies often adorn baby hats.</p>
<p>Baby hats are sometimes decorated with pomegranates. Red pomegranates, with many green seeds inside, have a sweet and sour taste. They came from Mongolia during the Han dynasty (202 BC &#8211; 220 AD). The word for &#8216;seed&#8217; is a hononym for &#8216;child&#8217; (two words with the same pronunciation but different meanings). So, plenty of seeds, plenty of children.</p>
<p>Charms and designs are put on children&#8217;s hats to protect them from evil spirits and harm. Tigers or just their bulging eyes decorated boys&#8217; hats, but not girls&#8217; hats. Sometimes they wore matching tiger shoes. The tiger symbolises courage, dignity and ferocity. The Chinese symbol&nbsp; for tiger is often written on the hat. Stone tigers in front of temples ward off ghosts, thieves and fire.</p>

</span></strong></p>
<p>Material: Silk<br />
Style: <span class="text">Southern Philippines</span><br />
Size: Length 91 cm, Width 85 cm<br />
Order Number: MHSASPH1</p>
<p>West Mindanao and the neighbouring Sulu Archipelago are the main Muslim communities of the Philippines and the Tausug are one of the most important Muslim weaving groups.</p>
<p>Islam spread rapidly throughout Southeast Asia in the 13th to 15th centuries. Its furthest expansion was in the Philippines. The earliest Islamic communities were established in the Sulu Achipelago in the last quarter of the 13th century.</p>
<p>Islamic states preceded Magellan in the Philippines in 1521. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi established Manila as the Spanish capital in 1571. There were three centuries of warfare between the Spaniards and the Muslims. The states of Sulu and Maguindanao became trading states with contacts in the outside world. This introduced them to new weaving techniques and new styles for clothes, which were reworked to create unique Muslim Philippino textiles.</p>
<p>The Tausug people are the culturally dominant group in the Sulu Archipelago and Sultanate of Jolo. Jolo traded with the Chinese, Arabs and other Asians, who also lived there, which led to diverse forms of dress. Silk came from China. Jolo eventually traded with the Europeans.</p>
<p>Tausug women are among the most accomplished weavers in the country and are renowned for their coloured silk tapestry weave headcloths (<em>pis</em>) and men&#8217;s waist sashes (<em>kandit</em>). They used imported Chinese silk. In recent decades they tend to use cotton or polyester yarns.</p>
<p><em>Kandit</em> and <em>pis</em> are woven using a tapestry technique, which was probably introduced as a result of the Chinese textile trade. The patterns are rigidly geometric, perhaps derived from Indian mandalas. The colours are rainbow-hued.</p>
<p>This Tausug tapestry-woven silk headcloth was an essential part of the ceremonial costume of a Tausug man. A waist-sash of the same technique was used to hold a dagger.&nbsp; The central design is a mandala and the geometric design (<em>siyabit</em>) is intended as eye-catching decoration.</p>
<p>There is an example in <em>Textiles of Southease Asia, Tradition, Trade and Transformation</em>, Robyn Maxwell, Periplus Editions, 2003, page 203.</p>
<p>Early 20th century.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Antique Sumba Peci Hat</strong></p>
<p>Material: Horn<br />
Style: East Sumba, Indonesia<br />
Size: Height 7 cm, Diameter 16 cm<br />
Order Number: MHSASPH1</p>
<p>Sumba occupies about 11,000 square kilometres and consists of large limestone plateaux covered with rough grasses and broken by valleys and hills. Thousands of horses live in the vast grasslands of East Sumba. Horses and cattle comprise wealth for the aristocrats in this dry, stony country, which is difficult for agriculture.</p>
<p>The <em>pec</em>i is a cap worn by Moslem men. It is a truncated cone, usually made of black or embroidered felt, cotton or velvet. It is worn on formal, religious and state occasions, as well as weddings and funerals.</p>
<p>The name <em>peci</em> is probably derived from the Dutch word <i>petje</i> meaning &#8216;small hat&#8217;. <span class="a">The black </span><span class="a">cap was modelled on Kemal Ataturk’<span class="l10">s fez, but without its Islamic associations. </span></span>Sukarno, the first President of Indonesia, made it popular. He promoted it<span class="a"> as a symbol of nationalist identity for men, whatever </span><span class="a">their religion.</span></p>
<p>This one, made of horn, belonged to the head man of a village in East Sumba.</p>
<p>Mid 20th century.</p>
