For many centuries, people of the Miao ethnic group were constantly on the move, traveling from place to place. Wanting to take all their wealth with them, they developed the custom of turning their possessions into silver – melting it down, weaving it into threads, forging it into ornaments, and decorating their clothing with it. Every incision and cut marks the passage of time, and every carving and engraving carries the legacy of history. Let's take a look at some exquisite Miao silver heirlooms.
