A close up of a Ba-sa-dung woman weaving one of the narrow bands which will be sewn together to make her short tubeskirt.  It is amazing that the very complex designs which are created by these Li women are achieved on such simple looms. The photo comes from the article in the September 1938 National Geographic by Leonard Clark telling of his 5-week trek into the interior of Hainan in the summer of 1937. Read Mattiebelle Gittinger's description of Li weaving.
