Traditional Tayal Woven Headband

- Traditional Tayal Woven Headband Traditional shoulder straps used by the Tayal people were mostly woven from ramie fiber, crafted by the men of the household for themselves or the women. Straps used by women were primarily for the headbands of their back baskets and to secure the warp beam around their waists during weaving, coordinating with leg movements to tension the warp threads for smooth weaving. Straps used by men were mostly for shoulder carrying, attached to men's back baskets and net bags, essential for general work and hunting. Another use was to tie them to the scabbard of a hunting knife and secure them at the waist for easy carrying. Today, these can be transformed into versatile, ethnically-inspired crossbody straps, camera straps, guitar straps, or headbands, becoming uniquely functional straps with carrying capacity...
