This is a very special quilt. It shows the famous "gold " temple, Tha Luang, in Vientiane, Laos, begging monks, the famous a Patuxai archway, the Mekong River, and refugees having crossed the river in Thailand leaving the area by bus. I have been purchasing these quilts in Laos for years but have never seen this particular style. The colors are more true on the small photos.
Working in the fields. There is a schoolhouse with a purple roof on the bottom. THESE QUILTS ARE ENTIRELY MADE BY HAND. NOT A SINGLE MACHINE STITCH.
Here you can see the Patuxai Arch, based on French architecture with a local flavor
$54.00 plus $5.50 postage.
Tiger quilts are my favorites...no surprise there. This one is quite unusual because of its pink background.
It is a Laotian folk tale and the story is all written in English.
