This vintage Hmong handmade textile incorporates traditionally hand batik dyed, hand embroidered and hand appliquée techniques. The cloth was originally decorated a woman's garment, a Hmong woman's indigo jacket. When the jacket wore out the decorations are preserved and recycled because they are such beautiful and labor-intensive examples of traditional Vietnamese Hmong textile manufacture: This is a fine example of an artistic style which is disappearing. 

The full wall hanging measures 38" long (96.5 cm); the cloth part 32 1/4 x 5 7/8" (82 x 15 cm)
