Summary

• A Yao (Mien) mother and children. The woman and girls are all wearing silver neck rings and earrings, indicating that these refugees have been relatively wealthy. The youngest children are wearing purchased blouses. Considering the circumstances it may then not have been possible to provide traditional clothing for the youngest ones other than hats.
