Context: American forces spread war into Laos. The text is a play on “kuvshin,” a Russian word for “jar” and part of the name of the Plain of Jars in Laos; and “kuvshinka,” slang for “water lily.”
Translation:
- Caption: “American Water Lilies”
- Text on jar: “Mekong, Plain of Jars”
- Description in upper left: “The American military increasingly brazenly wages undeclared war in Laos; in particular on the Plain of Jars.”
