They allow a mother to keep her child close throughout daily life, from the fields to the market to ceremonial settings. At the same time, they offer a highly visible expression of textile skill, maternal care, and cultural identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach baby carrier was traditionally made with its own distinct design, reflecting the individuality of the child. This example is especially striking for its layered construction, bright embroidered borders, and central floral panel, all set against a dark ground.
