Hmong Framed Hand Made Pictorial Childrens Quilt
"The Hmong (pronounced mung) are an ancient tribe of mountain people who migrated from China in the mid-nineteenth century in search of freedom and a land of their own. The history of Hmong needlework involves both ancient traditions and more recent adaptations made during long years of survival in refugee camps. From China many of the Hmong had moved into the mountainous regions of Laos, Thailand and Vietnam." Fine needlework has always been a source of great pride to Hmong women. Cross stitch, needle weaving and other techniques were used to create these wearable works of art. Traditionally Hmong needle work was done in bright colors but during the time they lived in refugee camps needlework sold to tourists was a major source of much needed income. In order to make their work more appealing to Westerners they began to use softer tones for the items they made to sell. Perhaps the best known form of Hmong needle art is "Paj Ntaub Tib Neeg" also called "story cloth" These lovely pictorial embroideries developed very recently in Hmong history. It appears that Hmong men began to draw elements of traditional Hmong stories to help make sure they would be remembered during the times of change. While in the refugee camps, if not sooner, women began to have the men draw on fabric so that they could stitch the stories on cloth. These remarkable embroidered cloths include not only the stories and daily life of Hmong culture but also record their experiences during the Vietnam war and their escape to Thailand. These "story cloths" have been made extensively in refugee camps to sell to foreigners who visit the camps. Many were sent to relatives in America and other countries where they could be sold in a broader market. They are still made in Asia and in the US by Hmong women. There are lots of Hmong in the US, as they supported the US during the Vietnam war and many were refugees in camps in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Framed Hand Made Pictorial Children's Quilt. Framed in a wood frame, under glass. Nice out door scene with lots of animals. Visual measures approx. 31''H x 31''W.
