A water puppet. Beautiful and Unique.   Vietnamese mask  "Bat trang" pottery [=the style of Vietnam, usually it is painted with blue inks depicting daily life]  "Ao dai" traditional or renovated  or "Ao tu than"  or a conical hat.

Try http://www.vietnameseartwork.com Knock yourself out. The two people who run this business are a mixed couple (Vietnamese wife/American husband), and they seem to go out of their way to be fair to the Vietnamese artists who supply their business.
