This handsome, elegant couple is dressed in the tradition of the Hmong, one of Thailand's hill tribes. Suwit Suthamtha is extremely careful in the reproduction of their garments and accessories, ensuring a faithful depiction. Both dressed in black, the woman wears shiny aluminum jewelry akin to the original silver accessories. Embroidered sashes with exuberant colors feature patterns of genuine Hmong inspiration. There are two groups within the Hmong, the Blue Hmongs and the White Hmongs. For centuries, the Hmong have sustained themselves through the cultivation of the opium poppy. However, most people are now seeking alternative markets, such as the fabrication and selling of exquisite needlework. Women traditionally sew by hand the family's clothes, which are usually made of cotton or hemp. Their garments are richly decorated with magnificent embroideries, and they are fond of wearing silver jewelry. These dolls are entirely hand-crafted by Suthamtha. They feature a wire skeleton and a ceramic body to facilitate movement into a desired pose. The woman's face is shaped of porcelain while the man's is made of ceramic. Their expressive faces are delicately painted by hand. The clothes are recreated from cotton and Dacron; the jewelry is made of aluminum and colorful plastic beads. 70% cotton, 30% Dacron. Please note, that since the flowers are made with whatever material is available, their color may differ to the one viewed in this picture. |
