Tai
Lao tribesmen. This shows the attire of the Tai Lao tribesmen from the north-east of Thailand during the last century. The women arranged their hair in a high bun and wore long-sleeved tunics, dyed dark blue with indigo dyes. They wore a floor length tube-skirt of mudmee (Ikat) silk and wrapped an intricately woven, colourfully patterned length of cloth over their shoulders. The men sported tight-fitting dark blue indigo-dyed shirts with three-quarter length sleeves over jong krabane pants pulled high up to show their tattoos on both legs and tied at the waist with several pieces of cloth. |
