Description

This is a child carrier. Typically, there would be two strands of fabric on the side of the child carrier to tie and secure the child to the back of the individual carrying the child. The Hmong symbol on the carrier represents a fence. Hmong people believe that when using the child carrier with this symbol on it, it'll protect the child from evil spirits.
