Is this a Muong
textile?
Olivier Bizet (of
Paris, France) has asked us this question from the tribaltextiles.info
forum:
"Hello, I recently
purchased a 6 ft by 3 ft weaving from a lady whose husband served
in Laos in 1971. He reportedly bought this textile from the
Muong minority when he was there. I have enclosed a link, I
hope the pics will show up. My question is: does anyone know
this type of weaving? Is there any information available about
Muongs in Laos (perhaps she heard Hmong and understood Muong)?
From the pics, can anyone tell me if it looks 30 years old?
Thanks in advance, Olivier (Paris, France)"
