SEDANG

This attractive young womand belongs to the Sedang hill tribe people in Central Vietnam. I took the photo in a small village on the way to Kontum.

The Sedang are reknown to make the most beautiful baskets. Each basket is a meticulously, individually, hand-crafted work of art. They live in a beautiful landscape but their lives are not easy and work really hard to get a meagre living from agriculture, growing their own food, and selling what they can. They, like many Vietnamese people, survive on very little money.

    stunning close up of this face, "Profesora", though the straw hat is a bit washed out. the face skin tones are first class. thanks

    This is a great shot and it supports my oppinion, in Vietnam there are the most beautifull women.

    Un ritratto molto bello, forse un pò timido.
    Mi piace molto.
