Marias in dancing costume [Chanda region]. Photographer: Ritter, Molkenteller and Company, R.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Group portrait of Maria dancers and musicians. Letterpress continues: 'The Marias are an aboriginal race inhabiting the eastern highlands of Chanda; they are passionately fond of dancing, and their dancing costume is very quaint. Peacock feathers, straw rope turbans and bunches of grass make their headdress, while bells hang from the back of their necks. Men and girls dance together. Maria girls do not marry till they are 15 or 16 years old. They are wooed and won just like English maidens. A Maria girl always leaves off dancing when she marries'.
