An illustrated survey of the costumes and textiles of the six major hill tribes of northern Thailand: Lisu, Meo (Hmong), Karen, Yao, Lahu and Akha. It describes women's and men's dress, embroidery, appliqué, batik on kapok cloth, seed decoration, silver jewelry, and carrying bags, with notes on each tribe's origins and status. Eleven captioned black-and-white photographs show costumes, batik work, embroidery, a Karen girl at a back-strap loom, and a Yao wedding shawl.
