Caption	Yunnan Province, China - 1943 - 1945

Date of Photograph	between 1943 and 1945
Photographer's Note	In Luliang on a street leading to the town's center, four women set up a stand to sell cloth. Dyed in various colors (blue, black, and other dark colors), it was folded into bolts and stacked up. Some embroidered pieces can be seen in the basket at the right. The baskets have been turned bottom side up for use as a display stand. Decorative and functional, these baskets are woven of bamboo. This construction and material makes them sturdy, and light weight. They are designed for carrying with a shoulder pole. The two ladies on the right wore white tunics and deep red head coverings. On the far right the woman was threading a needle. She became quite upset when she realized her picture was being taken. Many objected, and at times his their faces from the camera. The man in the foreground is trying to bargain price with the lady in the center. In the background a Chinese man in an ankle length tunic and leather cap looks on. To the left of him is an American military vehicle.
