About this image

CreatorDorothy PelzerDescriptionBlack Tai woman at the Army Day celebrations, Vientiane, Laos. The vertical central row of white buttons like butterflies is a customary feature of the long-sleeved blouse of a Black Tai woman. It is a striking contrast to the dark colours of the high necked blouse. The long black skirt topped by a green sash is also another indication of her ethnic group as is her embroidered headscarf.Date Original23 March 1963CountryLaos
