Description

An old request by :iconhosmich:.

The Yi people, also known as Lolo people, is an ethnic group that inhabits China (specially Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi), northeastern Vietnam and Thailand. They spoke Tibeto-Burman languages, standardly written in Yi script.

A pink flower (usually a lotus) on black clothes are folkloric patterns commonly found on Yi dresses. See examples here, here and here.
