Burma border label art

While traveling around the Burma/Thailand border, and later, the Burma/China border, I collected some label art that I liked, and carried it with me in a little tin box. This colorful design/printing style, with an emphasis on animal imagery, has become more rare in recent years, even in Burma, but can still be found on some items in Asian groceries such as bottles of fish sauce and jars of bean paste.
