AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Miao tribe, also known as Hmong, is one of the oldest and most numerous ethnic minorities in China, with a population of millions mainly distributed across the southern and southwestern regions (Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan). Renowned for their colorful traditional costumes, rich in embroidery and silver jewelry, and for their spirit of independence, the Miao have a history of migration and an animist culture with various subcultures, such as the White Hmong and Green Hmong, and are known for their textile art and music.

This piece, Donatomi, was also meant to be used as a knife in ancient times (the edges are slightly sharp).
