Found this at a local charity sale over the weekend. Hard to tell behind the glass but it appears to be painted on very fine/short red velvet. I'm told the motif and inscription indicate a Vietnamese origin! The purists of course were dismissive of it as just "Southeast Asian" but the collection in the Tiki Sun Room is rather pan-pacific anyway, so it fits. Especially nestled away from close inspection!
