Weavers at Prayer Hall in Hohhot Sunset
by Nova Briggs
Heavy gray clouds press low over a prayer hall in Hohhot where three women sit on woven mats. Their backstrap looms stretch tight with indigo and rust threads, anchored by their bodies and wooden beams. Late autumn light falls through high windows, casting long, sharp shadows across the polished wooden floor. The women wear thick woolen coats in earth tones, their hands moving rhythmically as they pull the weft through the warp. Dust motes hang in the slanted beams of light, illuminating the intricate patterns forming on the cloth. The loom's tension rods gleam faintly against the dim interior, while a small rug lies folded beside the nearest woman's feet.
