This baby carrier has a batik centerfield with geometric patterns on home-spun indigo-dyed cloth. The eight pointed star motifs around the border are reminiscent of similar geometric woven motifs in northern Thai lowlander weaving traditions. This is made by a Blue Hmong woman.The Hmong were originally highlanders from southern China, who migrated into Northern Thailand from Laos and Vietnam during the 18th and 19th centuries. They consist of two main groups - the Hmong Deaw (White Hmong) and the 'Mong Njua' (Blue Hmong).
