Animals and people in scenes of village life embroidered on dark blue background. Made in Thailand, 1983. From a letter from the artist: 'This village scene tells about the village Phou Bia in Laos. The house that the two dragons surround was a place that the Hmong's army chief (General Vang Pao) used to live. It also used to be a temple for the Hmong population to praise the Lord. The other things on the bottom tell about the Hmong's life in Laos. They used to feed the chickens and pigs and go to the farm. It also mentions the fruit and food that Hmong people produced in a year. Hmong were happy to celebrate the New Year. This is from Thailand made in 1983.' -Pa Lee Thao
