Description
Batik artist, Pa Vang Khang (profile view from the left, wearing traditional HMong dress), processes batik pieces outdoors. She is seen squeezing liquid from cloth pieces that have been removed from an indigo dye bath. Wax-drawn batik designs are visible on the cloth. A pan (placed on top of a wooden chair) collects the residual dye liquid from the cloth. Handwritten inscriptions on matboard beneath the photograph read, "Making a skirt #5," "Pa Vang Khang dying waxed pieces," "1984 / Lewis." Date derived from inscription on mat board recto. Notes on verso read: "Making skirt #5 [handwritten pencil, upper left verso]; L.F.C. [handwritten black ink, upper right verso]; HMong: Making A Skirt #5, Lewis Judy, *HMO.3506.00* Summer 2006 [printed label, upper right verso]" Original title from SEACRC: HMong: Making A Skirt #5
