  • very Special and unique! Love it!

  • Hi, many unique tribal pieces were coming out 10-12 years ago in China. My friends Lee and Vichai were going every other month, I was going every three months , and the variety of items which we saw only in books and now again are not there were staggering.  I got this from them as they had quite a bit hainan li material. I purchased many textiles and cloths then and only had wished I had kept one set. It was all available but then all of Europe was also collecting and museums and clients were collecting like museums.. The things just vanished in the space of about five years.  Many new and fake items now.  

  • Lovely piece, so elaborate.  Eva's cup of tea.
