Kyoto Talk 009: And Everything in Between

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.

knotted tasseled bai 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).
