Rick, I think Susan may be able to help you. I can't find an exact match, but there are a number of tribes in Burma and Thailand that have very similar textile patterns in their traditional ensemble, including the Karen, Hmong and Lahu.

Here are the two books I have that feature similar textiles:

Paul and Elaine Lewis
Peoples of the Golden Triangle: Six tribes in Thailand
Thames and Hudson Ltd., UK, 1998
ISBN 0-500-97472-1

Richard K. Diran
The Vanishing Tribes of Burma
Amphoto Art, USA
ISBN 0-8174-5559-0
