AKHA TRIBE
OLD CHINESE COINS, TEXTILE, GLASS BEADS, FIBMETAL CHAINS
Akha women are easily recognized by their elaborate headdress, usually decorated in a great deal of silver and beads. The women’s black, long-sleeved jacket is richly decorated with fine, colorful appliquÈ work in geometric patterns, and may include sewn on silver studs or cowrie shells. The Akha female’s chest ornament is one of the most highly prized symbols of status within the tribe. Hand hammered silver geometric and flower motifs are most valued.
