Hello, this item is a Hmong “story cloth” (paj ntaub) attributed to Zoua Vang Lor, a Hmong refugee artist from Laos. These narrative textiles, popularized in the late 20th century among displaced Hmong communities in Thailand and the U.S., depict autobiographical or communal scenes such as war, escape, and resettlement. Measuring approximately 31.5 x 31.5 inches, this piece falls into the classic square format used for display, often framed with a border and accompanied by historical or journalistic context, as shown here with the article from The Providence Journal.

Works by named Hmong artists, particularly women like Zoua Vang Lor who participated in refugee textile movements, carry cultural and documentary value beyond decorative appeal. If this cloth is in good condition, and especially if it retains provenance as a personal or early example, its fair market value ranges from $400 to $800 USD.
