Up for sale is this immaculate Hmong embroidery story cloth panel telling the story that is similar to Noah's ark, except that only two humans survive... in a wooden drum! Measuring 32 1/2" square, it is in immaculate condition, as pictured.
Starting in 1975, Hmong tribespeople arrived as refugees of the Vietnam War. During that conflict, more than 17,000 Hmong soldiers and more than 40,000 Hmong civilians lost their lives. Afterwards, thousands of Hmong emigrated to the US and elsewhere. Like other immigrant groups in the US, the Hmong have expressed their histories and hopes in many ways, including the crafts of embroidery and quiltwork, both skillfully employed here.
