The story / Vela

The character’s story

A few quiet sips, and she is ready to listen to the world again.

Cultural context

An original story inspired by the Western Xia period. The clothing silhouette draws on the published donor mural from Yulin Cave 2, Fig. 30. It does not reconstruct an exact garment or a particular historical woman. The bowl, tea pause and nonhuman form are inventions for this character.
