Created as a detachable panel worn over the back of a tunic, this piece represents a distinctive and highly expressive form of Dao women’s dress.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper band is composed of black cotton with a vivid red appliquéd strip, bordered by rows of white and dark antique glass beads. The beadwork forms a strong horizontal pattern, punctuated by small colored accents and geometric divisions. From this decorated band fall long red silk streamers, creating a dense fringe that would have moved with the wearer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dao are one of Vietnam’s major highland ethnic groups, with many regional subgroups distinguished by language, ritual life, and costume. Women’s clothing is especially important as a marker of identity, and each subgroup developed its own conventions of color, form, ornament, and dress structure. This collar comes from the Dao Hồng Tụ community, whose textile traditions remain comparatively rare and understudied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts detachable construction sets it apart from many integrated collar forms found in other regional garments. As a separate adornment, it concentrates color, beadwork, and movement into a single dramatic textile object. The combination of red silk fringe, antique glass beads, and appliquéd cotton gives the piece both visual force and ethnographic significance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e1'3 x 10\" (6'5\" with tie strings) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge: \u003c\/strong\u003eearly 20th Century \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/strong\u003eNorthern Vietnam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType of Textile: \u003c\/strong\u003eCeremonial textile element\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eGlass beads, silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eGood.
