Popular in the Qing and Ming Dynasties, the horse-faced dresses are beloved for their symbolism. The stallion has long symbolized power, strength, and virility. Wearing a horse-faced ethnic dress was a revering statement for sophistication.
A brilliant dance between two exquisite techniques in oriental history : mother of pearl inlays and Hmong silver craft serves as the foundation for this design.
Imagine the very essence of the sea - the allure of its depths, the mysteries of its shimmering inhabitants - captured and rendered into tangible, breathtaking pieces.
Traditionally a furniture technique made from the iridescent inner lining of pearl oysters and abalone, this meticulous technique is both a testament to artisanal skill and nature’s splendor.
The artistry of the Hmong silver knows no boundaries of time. Forged by the hands of skilled Hmong artisans, the Hmong silver work is a distinctive expression of intricate stories, myths, and aspirations, that speak of the Hmong connection to the land, ancestors, and future generations.
There are myriad of stories hidden within its lustrous folds, these silver artifacts are passed down from generation to generation, linking the old with the new, the past with the future. Each intricate pattern is inspired by nature and the cosmos, a delicate dance of the earth and stars, intertwined with tales of love, resilience, and triumph.
In its gleam, we honor the hands and hearts that have breathed life into this ageless tradition. Finding a reflection of humanity's eternal quest for meaning, connection, and beauty.
Owning a piece of Jing Que’s Ethnic Dress Collection is akin to possessing a fragment of oriental mystery. It is a celebration of nature's wonders, human ingenuity, and the timeless pursuit of beauty that transcends eras and cultures. It is, quite simply, an elegant Hmong poetry in fabric form, crafted for modern living.
