Yantra Vest or Shamanistic Protective Vest. Typically worn by soldiers in the tribal areas along the Thai Burmese border. Displays nicely. While it seems to have protected its previous owner admirably, ie it doesn't have any bullet or knive holes in it, I make no assertions that it will carry this forward to subsequent and future owners.

24” x 24” approximately.

Handmade and drawn by the shaman, it depicts prayers, signs, numbers, animals and deities.

The sacred cloth is an undergarment worn as a talisman with great protective power against physical harm, like bullets, spears, knives, wild animals and evil.
