HISTORY IN PICTURES | Women Of Burma, 1950

in pictire •  6 years ago  (edited)

Women of tribe padaung in Burma, starting about five years old, wearing brass neck rings (or rather the spiral of the rod with a thickness of about one centimeter, producing the impression of the rings), which are set by local women with the appropriate qualifications. Gradually the number of rings (or rather revolutions of the spiral) increases, which leads to the effect of "stretching the neck", so tourists call them women-giraffes.
