In this exquisite collection from Laos enjoy the symbols of
the Phii Nyak or Giant Spirit

and the Siho or Elephant & the Khon Buhaan - the rider

On the face of it, all Laotian textiles look similar until a closer examination reveals these nuances. So look for stylised motifs, study the density of motifs, examine the size of motifs and frequency of alternating colors.
Study each textile for yourself and you will see how special these are.
