Ba Na Skirt: Beautiful women’s apron style skirt from the Bahnar (Ba Na) ethnic group, Central Highlands of Vietnam. Woven from fine handspun cotton using all indigo and natural dyes. The weaving is very intricate and refined. This piece has a small tear at the corner (see last enlargement) and a couple of frays but otherwise excellent condition and dates to 1960 to 1970. The center panel is stitched loosely at the top as it was meant to be used as a pocket. Google Bahnar Bob Mc Kerrow to view photos of women wearing this kind of garment taken in the early 70s. Dimensions of belt without fringe 170cm/66 x 13cm/5.1in and main skirt 97/38 x 77cm/31in. https://www.trocadero.com/stores/abhayaasianart/items/1452909/Ba-Na-Skirt
