Daughter of the Lugu Lake Poster

This is a detailed pencil drawing of a young woman dressed in traditional clothing, sitting by a body of water. Her expression is serene and content, with a gentle smile on her face as she tilts her head slightly downward. Her long, flowing hair is adorned with intricate decorations, including a string of beads and a floral ornament, which suggest cultural significance. Lugu Lake is located in the northwest of the Yunnan plateau, with the middle of the lake forming the border between the Ninglang County of Yunnan Province and the Yanyuan County of Sichuan Province. Lugu Lake is called the "mother lake" by the local indigenous Mosuo people. The lake is also well known in Chinese travel pamphlets as the region of “Amazons,” “The Kingdom of Women” and “Home of the Matriarchal Tribe”, this last name highlighting the dominant role of the Mosuo women in their society.
