Thai Hill Tribe Headdress
Thai Hill Tribe Headdress Own a traditional headdress made by the Akha tribe in Northern Thailand also known as the Thai Hill Tribe people. These pieces are not only beautiful but have so much history and artistic value. This stunning hand crafted piece was made recently and is LoimiAkha style. Rather than using actual coins or silver to adorn it, aluminum has been cut to mimic silver baubles and beads. Beaded strands sing softly with the tinkling sound of the large silver toned bells which adorn the front panels. This charming little headdress is wearable and can be worn appropriately in respect to the Akha by valuing its beauty and understanding its history. It will fit just about any size head and is comfortable enough to be worn in a bohemian chic style just like the Akha. Each piece sold directly helps the Akha as these are all certified Fair Trade. A little about the makers and the culture behind these headdresses: The Akha have historically been the most economically depressed
