Description
Detailed, close-up view of a person (hands only, partially visible) creating a batik design on a piece of cloth. The person uses a wax spoon (Raab Dlav Cab, Rab Diav Ciab) to draw a wax line in a zig-zag mountain or river motif. This piece will be turned into the bottom section of a Green HMong skirt from the Xiangkhouang province in Laos. Handwritten inscriptions on mat board beneath the photograph read, "Drawing a wax line," "Making a skirt #3 / 1984 / Lewis." Date derived from inscription on mat board recto. Notes on verso read: "HMong: Making A Skirt #3, Lewis Judy, *HMO.3504.00* Summer 2006 [printed label, upper left verso]; L.F.C [handwritten black ink, upper right verso]; FEB 12 1987 [stamped red ink, upper right verso]" Original title from SEACRC: HMong: Making A Skirt #3
