Tribal Queen X Native Hymn: Ethic Print

was collecting these during early Aug

because i was seriously fascinated by

a couple of prints during summer collection

but can’t exactly name out what these prints are

 

time flies

now that most of the window displays

have been substituted into

something navy blue or army green

 

native print?

ethnic print?

tribal print?

 

or you happen to know which ethnic

does it actually belong to?

as long as they got preserved

*peace sign*

 

p.s.

these names are not the exact categorizations

some refer to the ethnic group or even

region in general

while others are the method of printing

 

eg: chinese print

there are perhaps 101 techniques under the broad categories

 

at least I can now identify

the zig-zag print as Aztec

or wait a minute

isn’t it Mayan?

 

come on, these are two different civilizations, right?

ahh…!
