I am thinking maybe Dayak, with the beadwork over the plaited fibre, or perhaps elsewhere in that region...
Ideas on identification, comments and references welcome. Thanks in advance.

Congrats, I was the under bidder.
A real nice piece. I too only knew I liked it and I thought likely from the Assam regions but as you note there are those more versed in these.
I wait with interest and if you ever get sick of it......
