Vietnam - A Hindu Cham ethnic minority woman weaves cotton and silk fabric on a back-strap loom outside her home
A Hindu Cham woman weaves cotton and silk fabric on a back-strap loom outside her home in My Nghiep village, Ninh Thuan province, Central Vietnam. The resulting fabric is used to make the traditional sarong style skirt worn by Cham women on special occasions or sold to local customers in the village. The Cham people are remnants of the Kingdom of Champa (7th to 18th centuries) and are recognised by the Vietnamese government as one of Vietnam's 54 ethnic groups.
