Pretty homespun needlework purse from the northern Thailand Meo hill tribe with vibrant colors and an intricately geometric design that really catches your eye. The design is on both sides of the body of the purse which measures approximately 5.75" x 4.25" not including the red yarn handle or the side tassles. Suitable for a variety of uses, it also has the original tag of the Meo hill tribe and the designer Dararat (Nid) na Lampoon. The hill tribes are nomadic people who have migrated from regions as close as Southern China to as far as the mountains of Tibet. Their way of life is still based on primitive existence, relying on agriculture as the basis of their livelihood, resorting to slash and burn techniques from time to time. However, such occupation are gradually being replaced by growing cash crops and handicrafts such as this homespun purse. It's in excellent condition, from a Phoenix, Arizona desert estate.
