Within an indoor exhibit in Jiyang District, China, an elderly female mannequin is positioned, depicting the act of hand-spinning. The mannequin is barefoot, with dark skin, a blue headscarf, a loose blue top, and a long, patterned skirt featuring red, blue, and white stripes and geometric designs. Traditional tattoo-like markings are visible on her forearms and lower legs. She is seated on a low, rustic wooden bench. Her hands are posed actively, with the right hand holding a small, spherical white object (likely spun fiber or a drop spindle), and the left hand drawing out unspun material. A thin thread connects her hands to a dark, spoked spinning wheel situated on the artificial green grass to her right. To her left, two dark, woven baskets rest on the artificial grass; one contains fluffy, raw white fiber, and the other holds processed white fiber. A large, light-colored bamboo pole lies horizontally in the foreground, and another leans diagonally behind the baskets. The background is dominated by a large informational panel with Chinese text and English translations, including "LI TOTEM AND ORACLE BONE SCRIPT" and "JIAGUWEN - THE OLDEST ROOT". The panel displays various symbols and pictograms, connected by arrows, illustrating representations of animals such as sheep, ox, fish, turtle, and deer. The panel's top and bottom edges feature decorative borders with repetitive geometric patterns in red, yellow, and black. A thick wooden support beam is visible on the left, and the ceiling exhibits exposed wooden beams and a patterned border.
