Who made this
Zotein made this in Vientiane, two days after Malee was born. His son, Souphaline, is from his years with Aedes. His son, Trider, is from his years with Deivael, whom he has also lost. At Deivael's funeral he said: "I'm going to miss that quiet attention they gave." This is one of six pictures he has made.
