I
know the Hmong made complete sets for their own funerals, complete with
embroidered robes, head-dresses and shoes, and when they converted to
Christianity, they sold them off.
I have a long coat made up of parts of Hmong cross stitch.
It's
always much admired whenever I wear it, and once when I was
mid-sentence giving a talk, the Burmese girl next to me tapped my hand
and asked, "Aunty, Aunty, where did you get that?"
