The Miao, a minority people living mainly in southern China (Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan and Hunan), attach particular importance to their silver ornaments. These ornaments, created with great craftsmanship, symbolize wealth, social status and cultural identity. The meticulous hammering and incising of silver is handed down from generation to generation, making each piece a unique and precious work of art, used for ceremonies and festivities.
