H96.50.2

Navy blue cotton shoulder bag is embroiderred front and back with an "old style of embroidery" as the donor described it. The bag fastens at the top edge with a dark brown zipper. This cloth bag was embroidered and made by the donor, Meuy Yaan Saeteurn, while she lived in Laos, before 1985. She came to California from a Thailand Refugee Camp in 1985. She learned to embroider from her mother, from her grandmother and from friends.
