Summary

• Hmong men and women in Muang Xay. As is common among the Hmong, the women are carrying umbrellas to shield themselves from the hot sun. The woman with her back to us has stripes on the sleeves of her tunic and a different headdress from the other women, indicating that she is Striped Hmong. The other women appear to be Black Hmong. To see these women from different angles, please see additional pictures titled "Hmong (Meo) men and women at Muang Xay" and "Four Hmong (Meo) at Muang Xay."
