Nguyen Thanh Le was a Vietnamese artisan, graduate of the Bien Hoa Fine Arts School, who sold her sculptures and other works of art to mainly military personnel from a shop on Thu Do Street in the former Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. These works later found their way to the US and France as military personnel went back home.

This Laotian woman bust of a young woman shows her beautiful features, unique hair style and ornate earrings.
