Our porcelain yao or mean hill tribe girl doll is a hand painted porcelain doll dressed in authentic clothing of the yao hill tribe. The cloth used to make her clothing is hand made by hand by the yao hill tribe and is the same material they use to make their own clothing. Our porcelain dolls are made near bantawi just south of chiang mai, thailand where they specialize in traditional hill tribes and thai style porcelain dolls. The authentic costumes of the hill tribe dolls depict the dress and the jewelry of each hill tribe which is uniquely different and reflects their own cultural diversity. The yao is one of the ten hill tribes found in northern thailand. They refer to themselves as mean. The yao are mostly found in northern thailand. They have their own language both written and spoken. The yao build their intricate houses close to a forest and river. Because they value their houses as sacred, much detail and only the best building materials are used. Like most buddhists in thailand, the yao honor and respect their elders. Display stand included.
