Hani Tribal Woman

Colourful and flambouyant Hani (Aini) tribal woman at Xiding, Yunnan, China.
This is a portrait of a Hani woman in traditional Hani or Aini dress, she is proud to be part of the Hani ethnic group as can be deduced looking at her showy finery but this is fast becoming a rarity which is a crying shame as one can see how interesting, colourful and age old these types of costume are. It is in its own right a work of art which will soon be assigned its place in the history books.
