Notes: Clothing, sedan chairs (or palanquins), jewelry, accessories, etc, etc. Nothing could not be improved by a good tassel, especially one with knots. This is a “bai” (tribe) wedding collar.

Annotations: The lesson here is if you name your files well, they can still find their way home. So these images are from the collection of Marla Mallett, an antique and ethnographic textiles dealer. This gorgeous piece is a Bai wedding collar (they’ve got style, eh? 8).
