Subject:Picture of woman on cloth
Posted By: Greg Mon, Jul 03, 2017 IP: 2600:8805:9180:3ff0:

Hi everyone! I worked in Shanghai for a summer a few years ago, and a coworker gave me this. I'm assuming it's cheap and not that interesting, but it just occurred to me that I never really put any thought into it. Can anyone tell me what the woman on the cloth is doing, and what any of the imagery in it means? For example, what kind of bird might that be? Also, sorry if "cloth" isn't the right term for it, but I don't know what else to call it.
