This shoulder bag was made and used by the Hmoung women of northern Thailand. It would carry all the traditional items which would have been commonly found in a woman's purse. The bag fabric was hand loomed from the indigenous plants and then embroidered using traditional cross-stitched with geometric patterns. Beads, silver ornaments and tiny pompoms are added for decorative enhancement of the bagface. This piece is in good condition.
This Many Westerners have been told that the Miao ethnic minority in Chinese and the Hmoung hill tribe in Thailand are the same group. Both the Miao and the Hmoung disagree. |
