Myatka / Collection
Natural canvas with black-and-red edging sets the scene for a tea-field meal. A basket and a shallow bamboo trough of kneaded leaves complete Myatka’s working outfit.
Myatka’s home outfit pairs a loose cream blouse with linen trousers. A small bamboo bowl holds the tea leaves.
A short turquoise jacket with multicoloured stripes, a dark skirt and a triangular chest ornament form a Jinuoshan-inspired outfit. The tea is carried in bamboo.
Multicoloured trim, a silver triangular chest ornament and a woven belt decorate the short white jacket. A tea gift completes Myatka’s wedding interpretation.
A pointed pale hood with red-and-black trim frames the long tea leaf. Silver discs accent the dark embroidered outfit, with a tea basket and an attached bamboo cylinder completing the look.
An embroidered jacket with pale sleeves, a longer dark skirt and broad hanging belt ends create Myatka’s wedding silhouette. Patterned cap panels frame the head, with a tea gift supported at the hip.
Myatka holds the bamboo trough against her hip and makes one last gentle circle with her little spatula. A small ripple crosses the tea-leaf mixture, ready to share.
Original form
A large creased tea leaf arches from a broad pale head, with a dark pressure mark and a tip hanging before the face. The eyes are large black ovals.
