Again, nice - the front is more spectacular I feel (as it should be!!), but the back is also good. A most pleasing folkloristic, ethnic piece. Part of a way of life that has gone for ever. It is interesting not least, to me, in being European.

Hi, the beading of this is quite similar to some of the Canadian and North east coast Indian tribes work.

Also something I enjoyed wearing.

Interesting comment on the beading, Linda - I had not thought of that comparison.
