Wat Xieng Thong mosaic, done in the 1950's in commemoration of the 2500th anniversary of the Buddha's attainment of parinibbana (final nirvana, or passing away). The mosaic is unique because it relates the exploits of Siaw Sawat, a hero from a famous Lao novel, along with scenes of local village life, rather than a religious scene.
Luang Prabang, Laos
