Tai
Kern tribe from northern Thailand. The high-born women of the Tai Kern tribe from northern Thailand, for important ceremonies, wore a tube-skirt called a Sin Mai Kam. This was interwoven with threads made from genuine gold and bordered with an intricate design woven from real gold and silver thread and embroidered with sequins. Aristocratic ladies traditionally wore a side-fastening blouse called a Seua Pad and they would wrap long strips of light coloured silk around their heads in a thick turban. Their jewelry was made from diamonds, gold and silver. |
