Description
Photo from Dimen Village of Wu Gaitian’s under-apron yoke and front embroidery. The yoke features a happiness bird surrounded by flowers and widow lattices. The yoke straps are closed by a metal weight. In Dimen, the under-apron weights look like two balls with loops connected by a larger loop. Each ball slips through a tight loop.
