The
women from the Tai Dang group. Unlike women from other ethnic Tai groups, the women from the Tai Dang group, when going to formal ceremonies, wrapped two flowing pieces of Pa Bieng across each shoulder, on top of their black, long-sleeved blouses. These Pa Bieng were exquisitely colourful woven pieces using the special teen jok technique. They were regarded as show pieces of the owner's talents and skills. The floor length tube-skirt was plain black or woven with small patterns, accented with contrasting bands of bright and colourful decorative hempieces. Behind these ladies hangs a heavy cotton mosquito net decorated with a colourful teen jok border. |
