Vintage Hill Tribe Traditional Laos Cotton + Silk Brocade Shawl / Sash / Sarong /Hand retailer woven

Vintage Hill Tribe Traditional Laos Cotton and Silk textured Brocade Shawl / Sash / Sarong /Hand woven from Ethnic Hill Tribes (Yao/Mien, Hmong) Fine retailer handwoven Thai silk panel from the Yao, sometimes referred as the Mien (I think) , ethnic group from northwest Laos near the Vietnamese border. Collected in the 1980's then in a trunk until now. These were for sale at £72 in 1982 so I used that as a guide and added postage so free/included UK postage. . . These are wider so suspect a sarong also useful as a throw

These are joined ie two weaving lengths hand sewn in the centre with a slight 1mm ridge
