Sampot Hol Mae (Mother’s Silk Sampot )

 

     Dear my beloved daughter !

           I [mother] am so happy to see you are growing being a beautiful teenager. I am so happy to see you are becoming a Khmer beautiful girl. Your beauty is the valuable treasure of a girl.

           I [Mother] remember that when I was a teenager as young as you, your grandmother gave me a valuable and beautiful silk sampot.

            Ooh my beloved ! Now I decide to give the silk sampot to you in order to decorate your lovely body  to make you’re more attractive and become a  khmer beautiful girl or an Ankorian princess.

How beautiful khmer silk textile ! How wonderful of natural dyes of the silk !

                  My dear daughter ! Please take care this Khmer valuable silk sampot. Because it is the soul of mother and it is the heritage of our family and the symbol of our glorious Khmer culture.
