Khien Woman.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Khien Woman.’
THESE women, who were small made, and very plain, are of the semi-wild race of people known as ‘Khyens’, inhabiting a portion of the Aracan hills. (See Report page 283.) The faces of these poor women were tattooed over their whole surface; a barbarism which is said to have had for its origin a desire so to disfigure their appearance as to discourage their capture by the Munnipoor and other neighbouring chieftains. Their costume is much the same in form as that of the Karens, but wanting the seed decorations with which the garments of the latter are beautified.
