Description

Rectangular aluminum plate hand-carved by Bắc Phong Từ Võ Hạnh while in a "re-education" camp. The item was crafted using a thin piece of aluminum donated by a friend and fellow prisoner of Bắc Phong Từ Võ Hạnh. Engraved on the front is a young girl with a book bag holding a flower, along with the words "vui vẻ may mắn" (happiness and luck). On the back is engraved "thương tặng con ba Từ Hạnh Noël 76" (with love to my daughter, Từ Hạnh Noel 76). This card was meant as a birthday gift for the creator's daughter and was delivered to her by a visitor to the prison.
