Description
Pictured is an unsigned painting in the home of the Mayor in Phong Nam, Vietnam. It features two wren`s, their home and heart shapes. The wren is also known as `kinglet`, a name associated with the fable of the election of the king of birds. The bird that could fly to the highest altitude would be made king. The eagle outflew all other birds, but he was beaten by a small bird that had hidden in his plumage.The Mayor was a leader of the Viet Cong who were formed in 1958 and fought bravely on the side of the North in the Vietnam war. He was rewarded after the war with the house in which this painting resides, and the title of Mayor.
