Zayein Karen women. The chief feature about them, after their heavy arm-rings, seems to be the untidiness of their unkempt hair [Shan States]. Photographer: Scott, Sir James George
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Group portrait of women, posed in front of a thatched house. Published: Sir George Scott, 'Among the Hill Tribes of Burma—An Ethnological Thicket' (National Geographic, vol. 41, no. 3, pp. 293-321, March 1922), p. 306, with caption note: 'The Zayein Karen women would be comely if they were less unkempt. The men of this clan shave their heads, except for a small patch over the ears, but the hair of the women is generally neglected. Washing the body is deemed an affectation. The inevitable coils of brass rods cover the forearms.'
