    Hi all, I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll try here.
    This belongs to a friend, trying to figure out where it is from. A google image search brought up this Ebay listing, but no idea if the info is correct.
    any information is appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    Yes, it is from the Akha, one of Thailand's Hill Tribes.
    This one was probably made as a souvenir, Akha ladies usually prefer them almost entirely covered with bling (and who can blame them;)).
    The seller seems to be confused as to the location of Thailand.:D

    Forgot to add, it has nothing to do with ceremony, it is just part of the Akhan women's costume.
