Label copy

Thousands of tiny white glass seed beads have been painstakingly woven into this cloth from the Ta Oi people in Vietnam's central highland region. Even after decades of war and western influences, garments such as these are still worn by Ta Oi women on ceremonial occasions, and the textiles remain highly valued within the community.
