Embroidered top

Our Southern island of Mindanao is vast and represented by people of different cultures and dialects. During our first ever visit a few years back, a mother from one of the local tribes, sold me this beautifully embroidered top which used to be worn by her daughter who by then had outgrown this. It is usually worn with a matching sarong and exotic jewelry.

Please do view large to see the intricate embroidery all done by hand.
