Abstract
This report examines a “Yao Shaman Priest Robe” from the May Weber Ethnographic Study Collection. It is attributed to the Yao Mien group, people who live in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, or China. Based on other robes (found in appendix), it dates from the nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. This piece studies the attribution, function, material, provenance, date, and iconography of this specific robe.
