Yao Woman’s bridal cloth

Fine and rare old Yao/Mien all hand spun and woven cotton wedding “veil” with silk thread embroidered geometrical design, circa 30 to 50 years old. This piece is from northern Laos and is worn on top of the woman’s head on her wedding day. The colors on this piece are subtle and restrained (please note the use of shades of brown and blue in enlargements) and the brown and white tassels. Except for a couple of tiny holes this piece is in excellent condition. W: 47cm/18.5in and L: 75cm/29.5in.
