A group of Yawyin men & women [at Monh Hsing]. These curious people are also called Tingpan Yao, and are certainly related to the Li-hsaw. Photographer: Scott, Sir James George
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Caption continues: 'The Yao women wear 'an extraordinary bamboo platform of leather, covered with red cloth, supported by struts at a height of two feet above the head. The hair is carried up in a column to this, and fastened down with gum or lai on the flat piece of leather. The misery of learning to sleep with this roof projecting above the head, can only be equalled by that of the Padaungs with their foot-wide brass collars' ('Scott of the Shan Hills'). Two women wearing such headdresses are in the centre of this group. These women are also seen in Photo 92/8 (24), where the location is identified as Mong Hsing.
