in the book 'world of head ornaments' , p172, it is said is from YAO group .....
very beautiful. could be the YAO, I am not an expert, inspite of my living in Thailand very long ago. Is this comb silver? It is adorable!
They look a little (just a little) like silver Chinese eating sticks attached together. It just came to my mind, when I looked at it again, and saw the pattern with the circles. I like it very much.
yes, these are (silver ? hope so !) sticks attached together. When these women, after a loooooooong discussion about prices, sat on tiny seats (just as high as my feet...) in the (very) cold (was -25°C !!), with "tchai", well, when they show me these, I felt in love ! At the end of the "price discussion", rounded by lot of Chinese people looking us, it seems that they appreciated the "spectacle" as we had applauses !!! :-)
@Marianne, that sounds great! Must have been a lovely price discussion! The comb is really wonderful, have never seen a similar here, if one had it, it would have been Linda Pastorino, she has many spectacular Chinese - or Asian things.
