A woman in traditional Qing dynasty costume.
And just look at the shoes. Bound feet. I find them really fascinating. There must be so many stories behind them.

Yes Nik, I know right. I remember it was my Chinese teacher in primary school who first told us about the practice. She was telling us how not to write long stories in our compositions and she used the phrase - 'your story is as long as the cloth used to bind a woman's foot'. We were incredulous how there really was such a cruel practice for the girls in those days.
