Traditional Miao silver craftsmanship has met the modern era in Kaili, Guizhou province, as Pan Xue, 23, an inheritor of the unique cultural heritage, presents it to the world through livestreaming.
Pan is a member of the ethnic group and an inheritor of the ancient cultural heritage. The body ornaments, crafted in silver, are indispensable to a Miao bride's dowry. A complete set of silver decorations in a dowry include a hat, bracelets, a collar and anklets, weighing a total of 6 to 9 kilograms.
