Antique Bear Hair Rain Cloak

SKU: 3141

Woven in the mountainous border regions of Yunnan Province more than a century ago, this rare bear hair rain cloak reflects the ingenuity and resilience of the Anka hill tribes who inhabited some of Southwest Asia’s most rugged landscapes. Constructed from a hand-woven fiber foundation and layered with authentic bear hair for protection against heavy mountain rains, the garment embodies both practical craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism. The rich texture and weathered character speak to generations of use, preserving the enduring artistry and cultural traditions of tribal life in the highlands of southern China.

“This piece is from the Akha tribe of the Yunnan Province. The cloak is made from bear hair and shows just how small these people were. Most were under 5 feet tall.” – Clayton Korver
