Life Scenes are literally their life stories through embroidery. With amazing detail, the Hmong artisans in Laos depict 3 stories from their surroundings - Hmong village life, Lao life, and Animals. The Hmong and Lao engaged in similar farming and harvesting activities but Hmong people are depicted in their distinctive costumes, while Lao people are seen wearing more universal but traditional Sinhs (sarongs). A collection of animals seen throughout Laos is another favourite scene.
