Cultural context

A dark quilted robe with a broad leather belt and warm boots suits the road. Yamka holds a bowl of milk tea with grain, with a soft travelling roll secured on the back.
A dusty-blue quilted jacket, taupe trousers and soft slippers bring the outfit home. Yamka supports a wooden bowl of milk tea with roasted millet.
A light-blue sash gathers the long copper-orange robe, paired with dark boots. Yamka holds milk tea in front, while the grain tuft remains the silhouette’s main accent.
A sapphire robe, copper-coloured waistcoat and red sash create a wedding ensemble of rich colours. Yamka keeps a bowl of milk tea in both paws.
A grey-blue robe with fur trim, a right-side fastening and a silver-plate belt pairs with patterned boots. Yamka holds a carved ladle, with a tea flask secured behind the shoulder.
A formal belt completes the copper-red robe, dark waistcoat, blue collar and cuffs. Yamka raises a paw to the chest, with a tea cake in a round leather case at the hip.
