Product code: Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laos Hilltribe lady's order headdress
order Very finely made headdress that is worn by a lady of one of the Hill tribes of Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos. I purchased this about 30 years ago when visiting this region. I'm not sure how they keep it from falling off their head but I am sure they attach it with something similar to bobby pins. I wish I would have asked more about it. This is a very unusual piece. It is made of many different things--metal half beads, seeds, plant fibers, beads, and something fur like. It's form is created by a plant and cotton base. Chin strap of coins holds the hat on head.It is clean and in excellent condition. A great piece of folk art. S&H included.
