Coronation ceremony garment of the royal court, designed in 1974. The king’s council and the protocol committee had begun to prepare the garments for the upcoming coronation of the heir to the throne, and the princess was to soon be crowned queen. Unfortunately, the coronation did not take place because the monarchy was overthrown in 1975.

In 1984, the artist left Laos and took with him the documentation of this design to France.
