Traditional clothing from ethnic minority groups along the annamite range featured rare and valuable lead beadwork.

The traditional brocade of ethnic people living along the Annamite Range typically features colorful patterns depicting nature, mountains and daily life. Among the patterns on the costumes of the Co Tu, Ta Oi, Cham Hroi, Ba Na and Gie Trieng ethnic groups, those using lead beads were among the most valuable and were a distinct feature in the region’s folk decorative and visual arts.
