The Hmong Embroiderer at the Paj Ntaub – This is how it could look

A Hmong embroiderer in indigo dress works on a paj ntaub with elephant-foot motifs, snail spirals, stars and zigzag rivers. Three thread balls in a basket, two finished cloths on the bamboo wall, four chickens and a young daughter with practice cloth. Terraced rice fields behind. A respectful tribute to the Hmong.
