Silk Embroidery Portrait of the Obama Family
To: The Obama Family
From: President Hu Jintao, China
In 2009, Chinese president Hu Jintao presented President Obama with a 39"x49" portrait of the Obama family. But this wasn't your typical picture of the First Family. Hu Jintao's gift was embroidered in silk, and worth about $20,000. The picture is hanging in the White House for now, but like the rest of their lavish gifts, the Obama's will have to hand the portrait over the government when his presidency is over.
